Intergenerational Inishowen Choir of Ages to host musical event for one night only

For one night only, the generation-spanning Inishowen Choir of Ages, led by Bernie Doherty, will being a beautiful collection of songs to an audience – music they have worked on together all spring.

Bernie Doherty told the Journal how this group ‘came together as a room full of strangers and acquaintances, as well as family groups of sisters, grannys and grandchildren, mothers, fathers and children’.

"There's also a lovely combination of guitar players including my guitar teacher, Eamonn Cutliffe, and students I've taught too. Over a period of 10 weeks, we have created something special, spanning generations and bringing together singers and musicians from ages from 5 - 80+”.

Everyone is invited to join the Inishowen Choir of Ages in a once-off special event in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel on April 6 at 7.30pm.

“Come and sing along, or relax and enjoy the music, as we see the years slip away from oldest to youngest - sharing something as old as time itself - the magic of music!”

The Inishowen Choir is a volunteer-run music group, made up of approximately 60 singers and an eight-piece band. It's an intergenerational project, designed to bring the generations together through a shared love of music, and their songbook is a mix of new, old and well loved songs.
