Acclaimed harmony trio, The Leading Ladies, return to Lisburn as part of venue’s 25th anniversary
Award-winning vocal harmony trio, The Leading Ladies and their band, make a welcome return to Lisburn’s Island Arts Centre on Saturday February 28 for a special concert as part of the venue’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
The Leading Ladies bring rich voices, unique harmonies and versatility to the stage. Michelle Baird, Ceara Grehan and Lynne McAllister, each an accomplished solo performer, have all played lead roles in many major theatres, winning many awards between them.
As Northern Ireland's first female vocal harmony group, they have performed together at many high-profile events and venues across the UK and Ireland since 2002.
This included Northern Ireland’s first ‘Opera in the Park’ event, guesting with the Three Tenors in the National Concert Hall Dublin and being flown to London for a special, high-profile event in the Royal Horseguards Hotel.
However, they will always have a special connection to the Island Hall in Lisburn, as they staged their first theatre show there in 2003 where the audience helped choose their name.
The trio also celebrated their 10th anniversary at the Island Hall, and had the pleasure of guesting with the fabulous Lisburn Harmony Ladies Choir last year.
Their latest show features music from classical crossover, musical theatre, celtic classics and timeless chart hits - all performed in their own inimitable vocal arrangements, close harmony style and humour.
This promises to be the perfect night out in the intimate surroundings of the Island Arts Centre’s studio theatre.
Looking forward to the Lisburn show, Lynne commented: “We’re excited about performing again in the Island Arts Centre as it’s music we really love to sing.
"We all have family connections to Lisburn as I’m originally from Lisburn, Ceara is from Derriaghy, and Michelle’s husband is from Glenavy.
"We feel very blessed to have had such wonderful, ongoing support from our audiences and hope that people enjoy our show as much as we do.”
An Evening with The Leading Ladies & their Band is at 8pm on Saturday February 28 in the Island Arts Centre, Lisburn.
Tickets are available from the Box Office by calling 028 9244 7452 or online www.islandartscentre.com.
