Dublin Gospel Choir
“A must-see – who’d have thought gospel would be this cool?” (Irish Times)
“Gladdens the heart and brings a smile to the face……Uplifting stuff” (Hot Press)
“Ireland’s foremost gospel musicians” (Metro)
The hand clapping, foot stomping Dublin Gospel Choir began 2011 with a real sense of purpose after their latest album ‘DOING THEIR THING’ became the first gospel album to enter the Top 30 in Ireland. Packed full of true gospel classics and surprising future favourites, The Dublin Gospel Choir followed up a very successful Irish campaign with an album release in the UK.
Not too many acts can boast of collaborations with music industry heavyweights such as Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, John Legend, Damien Rice, and The Chieftains. But that is exactly what the Dublin Gospel Choir has achieved over the last few years, aside from releasing their own records and playing to many thousands of people during their busy touring schedule.
From their modest beginnings as a local school choir in Dublin’s inner city 15 years ago, they have become a household name in Ireland, playing a host of concerts each year, plus a large number of festivals. Including their annual slot at Ireland’s internationally-acclaimed boutique festival Electric Picnic (at which they play the Main Stage again in 2011) which have become known by regular Picnic attendees as Sunday Service!
The choir continues its busy touring schedule in autumn and winter 2011.
