Vincent Moore Chairman
Singing has always been an important part of my life – from family gatherings at home to school choirs in my youth. Today, I’m privileged to continue that journey with the Tredagh Singers, a choir that brings together voices of every range to create a sound that is both rich and uplifting.
Being part of this choir is a joy. Over the years, we have shared unforgettable experiences; winning prestigious competitions, travelling to perform abroad, collaborating with wonderful musicians, and even surprising an audience with a memorable flash mob in Rome!
At home in Drogheda, we are proud to be an active part of the community. Our collaborations with the local baroque orchestra are always a highlight, offering both challenge and delight for singers and audiences alike.
What makes the Tredagh Singers so special is not just our love of music, but the fellowship within the choir. We work hard on our repertoire embracing the beauty and complexity of polyphonic scores-while also enjoying the camaraderie and support that comes from singing together.
I am deeply grateful to our dedicated members, committee, and our inspirational Musical Director, Geraldine Doggett, who guides us on this ever-rewarding musical journey. In a busy and sometimes turbulent world, the sanctuary of music gives us all strength, joy, and calm.
We look forward to sharing that music with you.
Vincent Moore, Chairman, Tredagh Singers
55 years of Music
The Choir was formed in 1970. Ireland then had a young population, over half under the age of 26. Bell bottom pants, flowing maxi dresses, ponchos and frayed jeans dominated fashion. The Troubles in Northern Ireland, EEC membership, Carnsore Point, and petrol queues were the big issues. Within all this upheaval the Tredagh Singers started to rehearse, perform and entertain the good people of Drogheda.
There is a lot of singing in 50 years. The Tredagh Singers celebrated the half century in 2020 – unfortunately a planned series of commemorative performances were cancelled due to COVID.
The Tredagh Singers will put you in a good mood, You’d be surprised how much laughter goes on in our choir practices. Yes, you might have to work to learn the words and get your part right, but nothing beats the feeling at the end of a performance when the audience erupts in applause.
People who like to sing come from all walks of life, ages and parts of the world. Music breaks down barriers and there’s no better example of that than our choir. Within the Tredagh Singer you never know who you’ll meet and what connections you’ll make that could make a difference.
Work, studies, housework and care-giving can be stressful and exhausting. Singing with us may provide the release that can help recharge your mojo. Join us on our journey, adding to the legacy of the Tredagh Singers, which has touched many lives.
