November saw us launching our second lockdown recording, a beautiful arrangement of a barbershop song that sums up what singing means to us all particularly during these current times "Tis the music that brings us together" https://fb.watch/1WptRs5nyH/
2020 and Covid 19 created many obstacles for all singing groups IU being no exception however the members rose brilliantly to the challenge and in August launched the premier of its lockdown recording of The Parting Glass

IRELAND UNLIMITED, Winners of AN CÓR, a four part series broadcast on RTE 1 national TV. The competition's aim was to immerse 6 choirs in the culture, language and history of traditional Irish songs.
Each choir had to rehearse the songs chosen for them, learn and understand the words as well as getting the pronunciation right. For some members of Ireland Unlimited it was their first time engaging with gaeilge (the Irish language) and a challenge nobly undertaken by the chorus director Cherry Hartshorn
Click links below to hear our performance at semi-final and final.
Song 1 - Ireland Unlimited performing a traditional Irish air "Oró se do Bheath Abhaile"
Song 2 Ireland Unlimited sing "Trasna na dtonnta" on their way to securing first prize AN CÓR 2010
