Our members are mainly from around the Castlebar area, but with five from Ballinrobe, more from Swinford, Kilkelly and Ballyglass we now truly represent our county. Under the Musical direction of Deirdre Lee, from Kiltimagh, Deirdre has been our Musical director since the Choir’s inception, an Honors Music graduate of University College Maynooth, having studied under Professor Gerard Gillen. She has been involved in many Musicals and events as Musical director, arranged and conducted. Deirdre is a teacher of Music, Choir and orchestra in St. Joseph’s Secondary School, Castlebar.
