Hillsborough resounds with Songs of Praise
Hillsborough was alive with the sound of music on Friday 2nd December when the beautiful historic St Malachy’s Parish Church, Hillsborough was the setting for a great evening of ‘Songs of Praise’.
The evening of traditional hymns and choruses was the brainchild of organiser Norman Houston and his wife Mandy. Norman, together with local TV personality John Daly, compered the programme with a capacity audience lifting the rafters as they sang their hearts out.
Also taking part were: Norman Houston (pictured below with John Daly), Garvey Silver Band, Castlewellan Accordion Band, Jonathan Houston (Snetzler organ), Julie Bell (Piano), Nicola Prentice (Soloist), William Wallace (Piper, pictured below), Brian Houston (Flautist) and Choral Group – Eleanor Henderson, Sarah Eames and Jessica Hutchinson (pictured below).
This was billed as a ‘not to be missed’ event and those who attended were certainly not disappointed – it was indeed an absolutely brilliant evening of music and song.A retiring collection was taken for church funds.
