Photos From the Irish Maritime Festival 2014 :)

The Irish Maritime Festival was a huge success last weekend in Drogheda Port. Drogheda town centre was buzzing with the festival atmosphere Saturday and Sunday. What fab weather we got for it!

Here’s some photos we took, mostly of the Augustinian Gospel Choir! You can imagine my fright when I turned around to see a dancing Spongebob Squarepants on stage, right behind me! What fun we had! And of course a dancing Patrick, our newest choir member 😉

Thanks to the Purple Sessions crew for the great sound and thanks to the festival organisers for a wonderful experience!

Oh, Happy Day!

Oh, happy day indeed! I’m very excited to announce that I have joined Gerry Simpson’s Augustinian Gospel Choir on a permanent basis!

The concerts last week in the Barbican theatre in Drogheda were very successful. It was a fantastic production and my inbox was full of messages from everyone who enjoyed the experience!

‘Mindblowing’ night of music at the Barbican – Independent.ie

I enjoyed the concerts and rehearsals so much I couldn’t bear the thought of parting ways with the choir after the shows last weekend. I got such a lovely, friendly, positive energy every time I was around the members of the choir! Chancing my arm, I offered my services of alto vocals and my offer was greatly accepted with open arms! I attended my first rehearsal as an alto last Tuesday and there I received the warmest welcome from everyone.

I have been aching to take part in a music production for a long time, I’m so excited!

Today we performed at the Annual Mass for Road Traffic Accident Victim’s in the Augustinian Church, Drogheda. I was playing bass again alongside Alan Barton on drums, Gerry Simpson on piano, backing up the choir. It was a very beautiful and touching Mass.

I will be announcing further performances in the near future!

I will be playing bass guitar alongside Dermot Roche on electric guitar and Alan Barton on drums.

This is the biggest production yet of the Augustinian Gospel Choir with their special two night show in the Barbican Theatre, William St, Drogheda, November 9th and 10th with a full camera crew and special guests Pat Coldrick (amazing classical guitarist) and Gerry Mulroy.
