With a number of planned gigs, a new song portfolio and a very enthusiastic new Musical Director, we are now opening the doors to new members.
If you are interested in singing with one of Ireland's longest established Gospel Choirs, contact us via info@gardinerstreetgospelchoir.com asap. :-)
And if singing is not your thing, but you love listening to Gospel Music, then come to our next Gospel Choir Mass on 22nd January (19:30) in St. Francis Xavier Church in Gardiner Street, Dublin 1.

The Gardiner St Gospel Choir is regularly recruiting new members! If you've always wanted to join a gospel choir then now is your opportunity! Contact us at info@gardinerstreetgospelchoir.com to find out when the next Open Night and Audition will take place.
