Dublin Gospel Choir coming to the Riverside

Packed full of true gospel classics and surprising future favourites, choir is bringing the album on tour all over Ireland, and further afield.

And they are coming to the Riverside Theatre, Coleraine, on Friday, May 21st at 8pm.

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, 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 13 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 play the Main Stage again in 2010) and a performance to a sell-out 82,000 crowd ahead of a football game at Croke Park in 2008, and you have a group of people who are really going places.

The choir also featured along with Chris de Burgh on a special New Year’s Day BBC Songs of Praise programme which was broadcast to over 35 million viewers worldwide.

Tickets 20 are available from 028 70 323 232 or online at www.riversidetheatre.org.uk
