THE world famous Harlem Gospel Choir will be making a stop off at the Ardhowen Theatre on November 28 as part of their extensive Irish tour.
Formed in 1988 the choir made its highly successful debut at New York’s Cotton Club the same year.
The Choir draws its core singers from various black churches in the Harlem community, who share the common aim of bringing about a better understanding of African/American culture. Founder member, Allen Bailey has worked in the entertainment industry for over 50 years.
Harlem Gospel Choir have performed alongside superstars such as Bono, Diana Ross, Gorillaz and Andre Rieu. They have performed for two US Presidents (Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter ) Nelson Mandela, two Popes (Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI) and have recorded with the likes of Sir Keith Richards, The Chieftains, and Trace Adkins.
Once again the Choir return to Ireland to treat audiences here to power vocals, infections energy and glorious sound.
Get ready to tap your feet, clap your hands, and even dance to their high-energy, joyous and exuberant performance!
