RTÉ presenter Miriam O’Callaghan will lead an attempt to break a world record when she joins the world’s largest group of Christmas Carol singers in Croke Park this December
Stars, Choirs and Carols will take place on December 19 when over 500 adult and school choirs gather at Croke Park to break a Guinness World Record and become the world’s largest group of Christmas Carol singers.
Earlier today, O’Callaghan joined Transition year students from Dublin's Larkin Community College to launch the world record attempt which will be televised on RTÉ and raise funds for Cliona’s Foundation, a charity providing financial assistance to families with critically ill children, and The Sanctuary, a charity bringing “stillness and harmony” into peoples’ lives.
On the big day, choirs from all over Ireland will perform alongside The Celtic Tenors, soprano Celine Byrne, the Dublin Gospel Choir, RTÉ’s Cór na nÓg, Tallaght Choral Society, and the Army No. 1 Band.

Stars, Choirs and Carol is the brainchild of Richard Mulcahy who appeared on TV's Secret Millionaire in 2012. Richard spent ten days in Limerick undercover spending time with various organisations and charities and was so inspired by the Cliona Ring Foundation he decided to dedicate his time to help raise funds for the charity.
