The RT Concert Orchestra and RT 2FM join forces with Victoria Secret and Davina Devine for a unique take on a Pride classic

This Pride we might not be able to be together, but as media partner with Dublin Digital Pride, RT is still celebrating and standing together with the LGBTQ+ community.

As part of our celebrations, the RT Concert Orchestra and RT 2FM have joined forces with two of Ireland's most popular drag artists, Victoria Secret and Davina Devine to create a unique orchestral lip-sync performance of Sylvester's You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) .

Members of the RT Concert Orchestra recorded their parts separately at home; vocalist Susan McFadden sang her heart out, while Victoria and Davina cranked up the music, the wind machine and the flashing lights for a disco fantasy in their bedrooms. Victoria even took to the streets of Dublin to give you a lip-sync performance with twirls, tassels, harps, luscious strings, hair flicks and much, much more.
