An annual must-see of Electric Picnic - who'd have thought gospel would be this cool? (Irish Times)

Not too many Irish acts, let alone international ones, can boast of sharing the stage with music industry heavyweights as diverse as Rod Stewart, Nitin Sawhney, John Legend, Damien Rice, Riverdance and The Chieftains. But that is exactly what the Dublin Gospel Choir has achieved over the last few years.

From their modest beginnings as a local school choir in Dublin's inner city 13 years ago, they have become a household name in Ireland, playing a host of concerts and festivals each year, plus a large number of corporate and charity events. Add to that their annual slot at Ireland's internationally-acclaimed boutique festival Electric Picnic (at which they play the Main Stage again in 2009) and a performance to a sell-out crowd at Croke Park for the stadium's first game under lights, and you have a group of people who are really going places.

With a new live album on the way in October, and plans in place to start US touring in 2010, don’t miss the chance to see Ireland’s most celebrated exponents of uplifting gospel and soul in action at The Moat Theatre. It's a show that's guaranteed to have you on your feet and to set you in the perfect pre-Christmas mood!
