Cork’s Choral Festival: Sing out loud and proud

FROM the towns and cities of Ireland, from every corner of Europe, even from North America they are ironing their outfits, packing their bags, and heading for Leeside.
One of the world’s premier choral events is gearing up, and for five days next week you will hear velvety voices and heavenly harmonies on every side, not just in official venues but in streets, pubs, churches and libraries too.
