The Band

The Gospel Project Band


Welcome to the other side of The Gospel Project! For those seeking a first-rate vocal harmony group to bring joyful music to their wedding day, The Gospel Project Vocal Ensemble are the group for you.


For those interested in booking a roof-raising gospel outfit complete with drums and bass, for festivals, functions and larger events, we recommend The Gospel Project Band. Featuring the formidable talents of Paddy Joyce on bass guitar and Shea Lalor on drums as well as the complete Vocal Ensemble line-up, this group is unique in Ireland. Drawing comparisons with the likes of The Staple Singers, The Gospel Project Band have delighted audiences in venues such as the RDS, the Sugar Club, the Mansion House, the Temple Bar Music Centre (now The Button Factory), Dunamaise Arts  Centre, the Moat Theatre, Crawdaddy, and the Phoenix Park. Performing gospel music classics such as O Happy Day and Wade in the Water together with original compositions and modern hits from the likes of the Sister Act soundtracks, this 8-piece ensemble sing with a joy and energy that is guaranteed to have audiences clapping their hands and dancing in the aisles.

The Gospel Project's eagerly-awaited debut album, On the Outside, is now available at live gigs, and through http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gospelproject 

And from the following record stores:

Tower Records

SoundCellar (Nassau St)

Road Records (Fade St)

 

On the Outside is well worth checking out. Superb soul vocals…. funky guitar…. uplifting  ensemble singing. ‘Something so Wonderful’ (the Eleanor McEvoy co-write with Henry Priestman) here truly blossoms into a delicious example of the genre’

The band's most recent live performance was on Sunday July 25th, at the Knockanstockan Festival, Ballyknockan.

The band were delighted and honoured to perform at this independent music festival, which was a huge credit to its organisers. Thank you Knockanstockaners! (Technically, it is not possible to raise the roof at an outdoor festival, but The Gospel Project came close! )
