t’s one of the highlights of our musical calendars, as the Wicklow Sings 
gang take over Temple Carrig School for their annual choral love-in, …As the organisers say, Wicklow Sings Festival is a fun, community singing festival which celebrates and showcases the diversity of singing groups in County Wicklow from singing for health groups, children’s choirs, school choirs, barbershop, gospel choirs and male voice choirs to chamber groups, community choirs and choral societies.
The festival marked its 10th anniversary yesterday with a landmark lineup of 12+ choirs, a singing workshop for primary school children, and the welcome return of partial funding from the Arts Council.
Established in 2016, Wicklow Sings has become one of County Wicklow’s most beloved community arts events, a non-competitive, inclusive celebration of group singing that brings together choirs from across the county every spring. A decade on, the festival remains entirely volunteer-run, and the spirit that launched it is very much alive.
“Reaching ten years is a real milestone for Wicklow Sings,” says Dara MacMahon, artistic director of the Wicklow Sings committee. “This festival has always been about community, giving choirs a stage, giving audiences something to look forward to, and keeping the tradition of group singing alive in Wicklow. We’re incredibly proud of how far it’s come, and it was an honour to mark 
the occasion with a Wicklow Sings that reflects everything the event stands for.”
