Gospel end-of-season concert
15.06.11
MOVILLE Gospel Choir
will hold its end-of-season concert on Friday, June
24 in St Eugene’s Hall at 8pm. In what promises to
be an energetic and entertaining musical experience,
the choir, under conductor Debbie Kelly and musical
director, Frank Fiorentini, will perform favourites
from their extensive repertoire.
Previous concerts in Moville have been sell-outs.
The choir performs a range of music, from gospel to
contemporary, giving the music its own unique stamp.
Since its foundation three years ago at the
instigation of Fr Paddy O’Kane, the choir has built
up a reputation for high-energy performance and
musical excellence. It regularly enthrals the
congregation at midday Mass in St Pius X in Moville
on Sunday and at venues around Inishowen and Derry. |

Moville Gospel Choir. |
Between singers and the
band, the choir has some 40 members with a wide
range of ages and musical backgrounds. Since its
formation, the choir has developed into a proficient
and practiced musical outfit. Indeed it is a
testament to Debbie and Frank’s professionalism and
commitment, that news of their retirement from their
roles in the choir due to other commitments, was met
with dismay by members. They will be sorely missed,
and all members feel privileged to have worked with
them.
Debbie and Frank will finish out their last season
with the choir with the concert on June 24, and a
recital at the blessing of the Fleet in Greencastle
on August 12.
The choir plans to build on the foundation set by
Debbie and Frank, and have begun the difficult
process of replacing them by inviting expressions of
interest in the position of choir director. For
