History: Castlebar
Gospel Choir was set up at the end of the year 1999 by Members come and go, but some of the original cast are still to the fore The choir's main objective is to provide uplifting and spiritual music at the 12.30pm mass on Sundays during the year, with a holiday during the summer. In addition, Easter ceremonies and other Church occasions are enhanced by the choir's music. We sometimes join forces with other choirs The choir performs at other venues, such as Ballintubber, The Royal Theatre, The Linenhall Arts Centre and Turlough House Social nights are very enjoyable, and have been known to feature a sing-song. Rehearsals
now take place at 8.00pm on Thursday nights,
A change came at the end of 2006. Niamh O'Kelly stepped down as Musical Director after six long and fruitful years of service. Dónal Sarsfield, from Ballyheane, stepped into the breach. He has brought the choir in new directions.
