A National Ukrainian Choir, brought together by local development companies across Ireland, has released a new version of Phil Coulter's single, 'Steal Away', in collaboration with the singer.
The choir is made up of 40 people including nine singers from Cavan and Olena Afanasieva from Co Monaghan who all fled Ukraine as a result of the war.
The single, translated into Ukrainian, was launched at a special event in Saint Stephen's Church in Dublin, this week.
The song, originally written by Phil Coulter 40 years ago, tells the story of a couple who escape from the Troubles and there are many parallels with the current situation facing Ukrainians today.
The song will be available for download via Spotify, and the road to the launch forms the subject of a documentary due to be released in coming months.
