Galway Simon Music Project

Galway Simon Music Project:

The Project was founded by Brian Hickey in 2016
as part of the A Capella Knights – “Knights Before Christmas” concerts. Its aim was to bring clients, staff and volunteers together through the joy of singing, fostering camaraderie, self-confidence and well-being.

In 2018 Carol Duffy joined as co-director, bringing her extensive experience in music education to enrich the group’s harmonies and broaden its repertoire.

Since its inception the group has gone from strength
to strength, performing at numerous events across the West of Ireland and proudly winning Choir Factor 2025.

The Project has been instrumental in raising awareness and vital funding for those in Galway who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The impact on participants has been truly transformative, enriching lives and building lasting community connections.

Galway Simon Music Project would like to extend sincere gratitude to Rev Anthony Finn for the use of this beautiful church for this evening’s event and for making this concert possible.
