Gospel flashmob!

Of course, it did look a little suspicious that Fergal and Eilis were taking so long to select a piece of cheese in Nolans, but then they and other members of the Kilcullen Gospel Choir who had quietly infiltrated the place sang out in a very special 'flashmob' event in the town's great butcher store, writes Brian Byrne.



Call it guerrilla gospel, maybe? Anyhow, the Christmas queue already in full swing got a teriffic session of singing from the Choir, led with typical verve by Phionagh Gibson.

"A bit of Christmas atmosphere," grinned James Nolan, one of the few outsiders who knew this was coming up. Indeed it was. This gospel group is likely to pop up anywhere these days, and have really added their own particular musical character to an already very talented Kilcullen.



Happy Christmas, everybody.
