Tullamore Gospel Choir was launched on Easter Sunday, April 20th, 2003, and has the distinction of being the biggest Gospel Choir in Ireland with 126 members, and a waiting list of over 50 people!
The Gospel Choir has been one of the most successful initiatives ever undertaken in the parish of Tullamore, and has gone from strength to strength since its foundation only two years ago, regularly receiving requests to perform at various functions.
Founded on the three principles of Faith, Friendship and Fun, the choir has been performing at the 1pm Mass in the Church of the Assumption on the second and fourth Sunday of every month since their launch. They have proved to be a very welcome addition to the Liturgy and have attracted huge crowds to the Church from near and far, both young and old alike.
Under the direction of local singer/songwriter, Brendan Keeley, Tullamore Gospel Choir has attracted phenomenal publicity in the last two years. They have featured on RTE on no less than three occasions, and they have also performed for President Mary McAleese and An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
