Jedward at Rock School in Ballymoney
While MTV Award fever gripped Belfast, Jedward took the time to travel to a Children In Need funded project in Ballymoney where a group of young people with a range of disabilities meet regularly to make rock music. The guys had a whale of the time with our local budding rock stars and it was all captured by a camera crew for the BBC One Show. All will be revealed on the One Show on Children in Need Night on Fri 18 Nov. So don’t miss it!
