The fourth annual Spirit of Voice festival was launched last week, promising a celebration of voice all over the city this November.  

Jeanette Mokoena (South Africian Gospel Soul Singer), Rachel McCall (Piano Musician), Kevin Higgins (Writer & Poet)

The successful festival will run across many venues throughout Galway city from Thursday 8 November to Sunday 11 November and will feature a number of local and national acts representing their cultural voice. Spirit of Voice 2007 will continue its established theme as a major Irish festival for solo singers and spoken word artists.

Events over the weekend will include concerts, voice workshops, storytelling events, and poetry readings, from worldwide performers such as Ronan O’Snodaigh (founder member of Kila), MFA Kera, Eric Eckhart and groups such as Under Construction, the Galway Gospel Choir and many more.
 
Speaking at the launch of the festival, Spirit of the Voice Director, Ger Mulkerrins said they had chosen smaller venues in order to increase the intimacy of the events.
