Urban Hymns: The Broadcast

Stuart Bailie|17:42 UK time, Tuesday, 23 December 2008

Don't forget, Boxing Night on Radio Ulster, a chance to hear a recording of the Urban Hymns event at May Street Church. Starting at 10pm, the event features Foy Vance singing 'Hallelujah' and Duke Special delivering a powerful 'Why Does Anybody Love'. You can witness Bronagh Gallagher turning into Aretha Franklin and pulling the entire audience to its feet, while there's a stunning rendition of the Nick Cave song, 'Into My Arms' by Rea Curran.

At the core of it is the Inishowen Gospel Choir, who truly rocked the house. I can also commend Joe Echo, Ken Haddock, Gabriel Makamanzi and Burning Codes. All wonderful ingredients for this two hour bonus. Have a top Xmas, good people.
