What is the Gospel Rising Music Festival?

Gospel Rising Music Festival is a social, fun and energetic gospel music festival, made up of workshops and gigs showcasing Ireland’s many gospel choir music styles. Whether you enjoy playing or singing gospel music in a choir or just singing in the shower, this is the opportunity to experience gospel music, network gospel  resources, forge friendships and have fun together doing what you love over a jam-packed weekend.

But I'm not in a gospel choir

Do you like the movie Sister Act? Do you love Glee? Is X-Factor a must on Saturday nights?
Then now is the time to try stuff for yourself. Gospel Rising Music Festival is the chance to sing like you're in a gospel choir, learn something at a workshop and get to see loads of the gospel choirs perform in one handy location over one weekend.
