DEAN Kenneth Hall opened up the doors of St. Macartin’s Cathedral on Monday night to Nathan Carter and his band with one sole purpose: to bring people of all faiths and ages under one roof to enjoy a night of music – together.

The Christmas show featured mesmerising performances of Silent Night, When a Child is Born and Oh Holy Night, amongst others, taken from Carter’s new album ‘Christmas Stuff’.

It was the second time that the singing sensation had put on his show in the historic Enniskillen church with people coming from all over Ireland, including Wexford and Galway, to watch him.

With money from the ticket sales going towards fixing the church roof the sell-out concert was certainly a roof-raising gig in more ways than one and for the second year in a row.

“The last time was incredible but this time was even better,” Carter told The Impartial Reporter.

“It was an absolute pleasure to be here and to sing Christmas songs. Performing in the Cathedral is totally different. I have performed in churches before - in choirs as a kid - but to be here with a band, drums and percussion, is totally different,” he said.

Dean Hall’s vision continues to be focused around creating a space that is welcoming for all, something endorsed by Carter, who has fallen in love with Enniskillen and made it his home.

“This does bring people together of all different religions and from all over the country. As the Dean said, the Cathedral wouldn’t be open tonight only for the concert so I am delighted that there are people here of all different faiths,” said Carter.

The singer will appear on the Late Late Show on RTE tomorrow night (Friday) alongside Take That and others and next year will bring his infectious show back to Fermanagh when he plays at the Ardhowen Theatre on March 25.
