The Leeds Irish Choir

The Leeds Irish Choir Directed By Sean Rowland
Mixed Repertoire
Varied Membership
All Welcome
Craic To Be Had
Thur's

The choir was formed to offer all within the Leeds Irish Community, along with their friends, an opportunity to enjoy something they may not have enjoyed before. Everyone is welcome, you don't need to be Irish...or even from Leeds...but we do ask that you can hold a bit of note : )

Our director, Sean Rowland was born in Leeds with strong Irish roots and recently returned from a 13 year spell of l

iving in Galway on the west coast of Ireland. Bringing with him years of music & choral experience, Sean formed the choir in September 2021. With a 'nod' to his choirs in Galway, his family and friends in Leeds, the Leeds Irish Centre celebrating 50 years and in memory of his former teacher, friend & choir mentor Ann Maguire (who herself was of Irish heritage), It seemed the perfect opportunity to brand the 65-strong group of singers "The Leeds Irish Choir"

Our repertoire is very varied, our membership is mixed and as individuals contribute all types of vocal tone and experience. Most of all, its a place to have 'the craic', leave your worries at the door and enjoy performing. We meet for 7:30pm rehearsal each Thursday at The Leeds Irish Centre. Auditions at present are not required and we will be recruiting for our remaining positions in the September 2022. If you are interested please get in touch here or email [email protected]

We look forward to welcoming you to our performances that we are planning for 2022 and beyond.

🍻🎶 And then… it escalated 😄 🎶🍻

When the singing finished, Galway had other plans…

Here’s a look at the night side of the trip — music, laughter, and plenty of craic along the way. Safe to say, it didn’t take long for things to get lively!

If you know, you know… 👀
