Killarney

<h3>It&#8217;ll be music to their ears tonight (Friday) as a community of singers are ready to begin lifting the roof again.</h3>
The Kingdom Gospel Choir is back and ready to get going in the Friary Church, Killarney at 8pm and new members are welcome to come along.
Set up by Caoimhe Lynch in January 2018, the popular choir always rehearsed in the John Paul II Pastoral Centre, but due to COVID had to disband temporarily.
This year they have moved rehearsals to the Friary Church so that people can social distance and everyone can feel comfortable and safe, Caoimhe explained to the Killarney Advertiser.
&#8220;I wanted it to be a place where people could just come for an hour out of their busy lives, to sing and have a laugh,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;After putting in a lot of work to do our Christmas concert in December 2019, we took a break and we were ready to get back to action at the end of February but with COVID, that never happened. I personally have missed the choir so much, as do all the members. It was very hard not seeing all the happy friendly faces on a Friday night. But the break has made us appreciate the fabulous community that we have in choir, and we are all ready to get back singing together again.&#8221;
She added that there&#8217;s no commitment involved, and people just come along when they can.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very relaxed and good fun, you don&#8217;t need to be a singer. The choir has grown to now have over 120 members and it is a lively, fun, inviting environment, everyone leaves feeling uplifted. It has really become like a big family where everyone feels welcome. New members are always welcome to come along any Friday.&#8221;

Killarney is ready to sing again tonight!
