Formed in November 2023, the Timahoe Male Choir originated from casual Sunday sing-alongs in Timahoe village, Co. Laois. Initially sparked by post-pint gatherings, the choir's potential became evident during a Christmas carol service. Now flourishing with over 55 members aged 25 to 75 from diverse backgrounds, the choir has become a local sensation.
Rehearsing alternately in the village's two pubs on Monday nights, the group blends musical practice with social camaraderie. Dubbed "the vocal equivalent of the men’s shed" for their community spirit, the choir has garnered over a million views on RTE's social media.
Their performance at the 2024 Electric Picnic attracted record crowds, resulting in what many consider the greatest sing-song ever to take place in Co. Laois. The Timahoe Male Choir stands as a testament to the power of community and the joy of music.
A contribution from the event goes to ‘Teac Tom’, which provides mental health and suicide support services in Stradbally & Kilkenny.
