About this Event

This magical evening of favourite Christmas songs will feature Ceol Aoine choir and our special guests, June Rodgers and Aoife Scott.

Conducted by the amazing Lynsey Callaghan​, the 90-strong Ceol Aoine will be singing all the best-loved Christmas songs and festive favourites, including hits made famous by Mariah Carey, Shakin' Stevens, Paul McCartney, Slade and Bing Crosby. There will also be gorgeous Christmas carols and hymns, including O Holy Night and Silent Night.

MCed by journalist Andrea Smith, the concert will take place in the beautiful Church of the Holy Spirit in Greenhills, which garnered huge attention when it was featured as a filming location in the RTÉ crime drama, Kin.​ The church will be bathed in candlelight for the occasion, lending a festive ambience to what promises to be a very special evening.

The hugely entertaining.June Rodgers stars as Birdie in ​the BBC and RTÉ comedy series, Mrs Brown's Boys. As well as​ her illustrious career in comedy and film, June has a beautiful voice ​that will enchant the audience in Greenhills.

Then there's Aoife Scott, who, along with her cousin Róisín O, was recently chosen to sing the National Anthem and Grace at Croke Park, before Katie Taylor's fight. As one of the next generation of the famous Black Family, the award-winning Aoife is great fun and has a gorgeous voice and amazing stage presence.

As for Ceol Aoine, in the two-and-a half years since we formed, we have sung with fantastic artists like Katherine Jenkins, Aled Jones, Claudia Boyle, Linda Martin, Rebecca Storm, Tom Cole Junior, Dublin City Ramblers and Vladimir Jablokov. Our engagements have taken us to the stages of the 3Arena, National Concert Hall, Convention Centre, The Helix, Guinness Storehouse and National Botanic Gardens.

We have also raised €60,000 for charity through our own concerts, and part of the proceeds from this concert will go to Greenhills Parish,

We hope you will join us for our beautiful Christmas concert, but make sure you book early as our concerts are always hugely popular. Tickets €20 are available from Greenhills Parish Centre or online here at Eventbrite.
