Is there anywhere in town doing a Christmas carol/choir service concert or something like that in the coming weeks? thanks

How soon are you looking?

The Eyre Square centre will have carolers in the week before Christmas collecting for charity.

Different churches will also have them during advent

I couldn't just said lmgtfy ... but hey, it's Christmas:

CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT: A carol concert in aid of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland will be presented by the TRIBAL CHAMBER CHOIR in the Augustinian Church on Saturday next, 17th of December at 8pm. The choir, directed by Mark Keane, is drawn from various Church choirs in the city -including our own Augustinian Church. Carols old and new will include some beautiful traditional Irish carols.

CAROL SERVICE SUNDAY NEXT: The annual Carol Service in St. Nicholas' Church will be held on Sunday next, December 18th at 4.00. As you know, this is always a crowded and very enjoyable service, so you will need to get there about 20 minutes beforehand if you wish to get a good seat.

(Thanks to the Augustinian's newsletter for those two)

GCF CAROL SERVICE
At GCF Sunday 18th December at 7pm. Bring the family and come along for some carols, tea, mince pies and fellowship.

Carols for Cope at the Christmas Market
We have been invited to sing carols for Cope at the Christmas Market at 5:30pm on Saturday 17th Dec. We will close a children's lantern parade and ask that everyone is on time to be set up and be in place.

Thanks to Galway Christian Fellowship for those two.


And not quite carols, but close:

"The Gift is an hour long interpretation of the Nativity sung in a lively gospel style and carries the essence of Christmas. The Gift Christmas Concerts will take place on 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd Dec, in the Jesuit Church Sea Rd.
Tickets €10"

Enjoy!
