Getting ready for the tour

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:39:30 -0400

Hi everybody. We spent last Sunday evening going through the music for the USA tour. No matter how well we think we know the music it’s important to get together to make sure we know exactly what we’re doing. We’re told it’s going to be pretty cold during our visit to some parts of USA…it gets pretty cold here, although the Gulf stream usually keeps Ireland snow free during winter, apart from the odd snow shower. Last year was exceptionally cold here in N. Ireland so we can anticipate, just a little bit, what we might experience during the tour.

At the end of the week we officially celebrate the centenary of the parish church, Sacred Heart, Ballyclare and the opening of the new parish hall. You’ll be able to follow the celebration via the parish web cameras so do join us on Sunday 6 Nov at 3.00pm our time. I’ll post a pic of the hall for you to see. We’re really pleased with the end result and it will be a great asset and resource for the future. More news about our preparations for the USA tour later. Fr E

No doubt you already know how adaptable we are and can be to different circumstances. Well, in advance of our forthcoming tour to USA we’ve had the opportunity to sing along with the members of Cappella Caeciliana (the choir we helped to form in 1995) in a ballet with the world famous Carlos Acosta and his dancing partner Zenaida Yanwosky as part of the Belfast Music Festival. We have two nights under our belt and tonight is the last night. Its been a wonderful experience just watching Carlos and Zen dance. Thay have been very complimentary about Cappella’s singing and its great for Martin, David and myself to have this opportunity to touch base with our friends in Cappella Caeciliana who have been such a support to us over the past few years. Will upload a picture for you all to see. Will you be able to spot us. Eugene

Hello everyone. I hope you like our new and improved website. Sorry for the interruption and that it took so long to get it up and running again. We intend to add to it more regularly and keep you up to date with all our current and future plans.

The main image on the website of the three of us looking in a relaxed mood was taken by Steve Schofield in the priests’ dining room at our old alma mater, Garron Tower. We all like the photo very much and hope you do too. The striking image that you can see below was taken at our debut performance in the beautiful St Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh in 2008.
