ABOUT US
Not too many Irish acts, let alone international ones, can boast of sharing the stage with music industry heavyweights such as Rod Stewart, John Legend, James Brown, Damien Rice, and The Chieftains. But that is exactly what the Dublin Gospel Choir has achieved over the last few years.
From their modest beginnings as a local school choir in Dublin’s inner city 12 years ago, they have become a household name in Ireland, playing a host of concerts each year, plus a large number of corporate and charity events. Add to that their annual slot at Ireland’s internationally-acclaimed boutique festival Electric Picnic (at which they played on the Main Stage again in 2008) and a performance in front of 82,000 people at Croke Park in 2007, and you have a group of people who are really going places.
The choir also featured along with Chris de Burgh on a special BBC Songs of Praise programme which was broadcast to over 35million viewers worldwide. Whereas the religious audience is one target market for them, the Dublin Gospel Choir seems to have broad appeal. They collaborated with well-known Irish singer Paddy Casey for Today FM’s Even Better than the Real Thing CD and went on to tour with Paddy. This won them a much younger audience and one that remains a large part of their audience at shows right across Ireland. They were also invited by Rod Stewart to join him for two great nights at the RDS in Summer 07.
Apart from 2009 tour dates, some of which have already been announced on the “Upcoming Events” page, the Dublin Gospel Choir are currently working on material for their next Live DVD / album (scheduled for recording later in 2009) and will be releasing a single in Spring 09. So it’s business as usual for one of Ireland’s foremost touring groups!
