Welcome to the Kilkenny Gospel Choir

CHOIRS UNITE FOR HAITI

We are delighted to announce that the Concert of Hope for Haiti raised €14.000  for Haiti. The money will go direct through the Sisters of Cluny who are working on the ground in Haiti. Thanks to all our performers who joined the night and to the international support and well wishes from gospel choirs throughout the world.
