Istitito Comprensivo “Michelangelo, Bagnoli (NA) – 16th May (Primary)

Thank you for you great show. All our students were so enthusiastic that at the end of your performace they asked:”Can we attend the show next Thursday again?” To see brightness and happiness in their eyes made me one of the happiest teachers. Motivation is the only key in everyone’s life. Maestra Linda Felicità

Scuola Media “Pordenone Centro”, Pordenone – 9th May

First of all, I’d like to thank you again for the amazing show in Pordenone. My classes, who were in the first group, were so excited that they didn’t want to go back to school because they wanted to watch the second show, too! Their response was incredible and the following day, during my lessons, I could not but talk about you and your show. I love the way you teach and entertain students: it’s an explosion of energy and enthusiasm!
Secondly, I also teach a group of adults – I told them about you, your show and your website. They now know they can visit your site and sing their favourite Beatles songs. Maybe they don’t know who will.i.am is or who The Black Eyed Peas are but ……… they now know who Fergal Kavanagh is!! Prof.ssa Emanuaela Durigon

Treviso Prison – 3rd May

“The students here at Santa Bona who came to your show told me how much they enjoyed it. They said that you “brought a bit of happiness to a place that is otherwise extremely dull and where sadness, sorrow and despair ooze out of every brick”. Even today somebody who I only see on Fridays was praising you and saying that he had a great time. One of them, in the second show, was glad he took part in the dance activity. He said he was very shy at the beginning but then soon got involved and just had fun. On behalf of those who came and specially  from me, a very big thank you.” Prof.ssa Giuliana Santamaria

They are already thinking of having another meeting with you next year. Thank you!”Prof.ssa Giovanna Mottolese

Liceo “Silvestri”, Portici (NA) – 24th April

Dear Fergal, thank you. My students really enjoyed the show. You were able to communicate a lot of energy, apart from teaching grammar and words through songs and I think that, in times in which young people need positive energy and not just false idols, initiatives like yours are always well accepted. I also liked the fact that you did not allow mobile phones. As soon as I have some time I will surely check all the possibilities of continuing your activities. I was once a fan of an English man who did a similar work as you do on TV and radio but the quantity of work you did for the show of today is really astonishing. Thank you again.”Prof.ssa Emilia De Paola

“I had so much fun at the Cinema Roma – you made it so damn fun, I love English and I knew every song you played! Thank you so much and I hope you come back next year!”Serena (student)
