Singing in the rain at Cork’s choral celebration

Choirs from across the world made the best of the poor weather over the bank holiday weekend to deliver another successful Cork International Choral Festival.

Venues across the city were serenaded by groups from Cork, Ireland and beyond who delivered renditions of well known numbers in churches, pubs and on streets across the five-day festival, which finished yesterday.

The event attracted participants from 14 different countries including Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden and the UK.
