Tullamore Gospel Choir was launched on Easter Sunday, April 20th, 2003 under the direction of singer/songwriter Brendan Keeley It has the distinction of being the biggest Gospel Choir in Ireland with 100 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, regularly receiving requests to perform at various functions. We have appeared on TV numerous times and have also played for President Mary Mc Aleese.
Membership of Tullamore Gospel Choir is entirely voluntary, and the level of commitment and dedication of each and every member of the choir - on a totally voluntary basis - is truly staggering.
Over 95% of members attend weekly Choir rehearsals in the Day Chapel of the Church of the Assumption in Tullamore every Wednesday night.
There is always an infectious atmosphere of Faith, Fun and Friendship, and no Choir member would ever willingly miss a charity event.
