Glór

Glór is a mixed voice vocal group based in Drogheda, Co. Louth, with musical director, Ciara Mac Cormac. Established in 2004, Glór’s repertoire goes from Tallis to The Beatles, from O’Riada to Billy Joel. We sing together mainly for the fun of it, but we also perform concerts and, more recently, competitions. We meet every second Sunday in Drogheda from 5pm - 6.30pm.   New members require audition and need some experience.

Sonata Singers

Sonata Singers are a small group of ladies from Co. Louth, who got together
in February 2000 and have been going from strength to strength ever since. We meet every Tuesday evening in Teach Mhuire, in Drogheda.  We have been competing in festivals all over Ireland, Scotland and of course our favourite, Wales, where we have been very successful.  Our highlights so far
have been a trip to Vienna in 2006 to sing in the Advent Festival - magic and last year we sang in St. Peter's basillica in Rome and also at the audience for the Pope.
