A Cavan based choir director says music can express what can't be said with words.
Julia Boyko is the director of the National Ukrainian Choir and she's been living in Cavan for over 20 years.
The National Ukrainian Choir released 'Steal Away' with Phil Coulter last year, with verses translated into Ukrainian.
The song was chosen as it originally tells the story of a couple escaping the Troubles, drawing parallels with the experience of Ukrainians now.
Julia says music is a powerful tool to express your emotions and a great way to make new friends.
