'Shabby Go Chic' Debuts On TG4

A news series is about to be launched on the Galway-based Irish language broadcaster TG4.
The opening programme of Waddell Media's first Irish language commission goes out on TG4 on Monday 3rd March at 10pm.
Shabby go Chic is a new series (13 x 25') that trawls second hand stores for old junk and defunct furniture, with the aim of transforming them into eye-catching pieces fit for a celebrity's home.
In each programme, two pairs of interior design enthusiasts take up the challenge of transforming shabby into chic, by producing a piece of furniture for a room in the home of a local celebrity. The celebrity will decide which item to keep and which to bin.
The series is presented by Aoife Nic Fhearghusa, with interior design expert Karl Fradgley on hand to offer friendly advice and moral support to the contestants, as well as giving them imaginative tips on the task in hand.
The series is shot entirely on location all over Ireland, from Cork to Belfast, Kerry to Letterkenny, Galway to Newry and Dublin.
The series has been produced for TG4 with assistance from Northern Ireland Screen's Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
