Gospel at the Movies in Glór

ARISING from its popular two-night run in Glór last January, the Ennis-based Really Truly Joyful Gospel Choir is doing a one-night performance of Gospel at the Movies later this month.

Fiona Walsh, director of the choir, said that due to demand, they decided to perform the show again. “We intend to scale down our performances a little in the coming months and we thought this would be a good thing to do before that.
“We call Gospel at the Movies a multi-sensory show. Basically, the show includes a number of songs from the movies, which we will be performing in gospel style. These songs would not necessarily be considered as true Gospel songs but we’re doing a gospel take on them,” she explained.
“The songs cover a broad style and would suit many different tastes but will be performing them with a gospel twist,we have gone all out to make this similar to a movie experience but it’s very much a live show. We’ve had a lot of fun with it,” Fiona added.
There is currently between 30 and 50 people performing with the Really Truly Joyful Gospel Choir. The choir has been together now for five years and it’s going from strength to strength.
Also performing at will be the Ennis Youth Gospel Choir, now in its third year. The choir is for children up to the age of 12.
The performance will also be recorded for the choir’s first CD. “We have thought about bringing about a CD for some time but this is the ideal opportunity, so our first CD will be our live performance of Gospel at the Movies. The CD will be released in time for the Christmas market. Proceeds from the sale of the CD will go towards funding the choir,” Fiona said.
Tickets for the show on October 16 are available from www.glor.ie.
