We’re delighted to welcome The Roscommon Men’s Choir as part of this year’s Bealtaine programme.
The choir was formed in Oct 2023 with the intention of doing a one off performance to raise money for a local charity that Christmas. Padraig O’Rourke, their founding member, put a call out to all his male contacts and got great uptake on the idea including a number of local musicians willing to provide a backing band.
After a number of successful performances at Christmas, and seeing the great feedback and support from the public, they decided to continue practicing and performing, resulting in around 60 members in total with 30-35 performing at their gigs.
The choir is focused on providing a social outlet for its members with twice weekly practices and numerous live performances throughout the year. The members range in age from 18 up to late 70’s and their musical repertoire ranges in genre from Rock and Pop to Irish Ballads from the 60’s to present day.
They bring a vibrant energy to their popular performances and pride themselves in influencing positive mental health awareness for men.
Free performance, all welcome.
