Q. What is the line-up of the Gospel Project?
A. The ensemble consists of five singers (2 male, 3 female) and a keyboard player.
We use amplification for all our performances. Several of the singers also play
instruments, including guitar, percussion and violin. The group can be augmented
with extra singers or musicians if you require a larger ensemble for your wedding
or function (see below).
Q. I would like to hear the group before booking you.
What is the best way to do this?
We have a demo cd that we can send by post; just send an e-mail with your postal
address to .
You can also hear us live
at one of our regular gigs.
Q. How far in advance do I need to book the Gospel Project
for a wedding/function?
A. We accept bookings up to 18 months in advance. We recommend booking early,
particularly if you are getting married on a Saturday, or during the summer
months.
Q. Are the Gospel Project available for weddings on weekdays?
A. Yes.
Q. What does the group wear when performing?
A. The Gospel Project dress in black with purple ties.
Q. I would like more than five singers for my wedding.
Is this possible?
We can easily provide extra singers or extra musicians (such as bass guitar
or percussion) if you would like a bigger sound. For rates per person contact
.
Q. Do I have to choose from the songs in your repertoire
or can I have other songs for my wedding ceremony?
A. We will prepare up to two new songs for each wedding ceremony, in addition
to our existing repertoire. You should consider how the songs you would like
will sound when performed by a choir with a keyboard - for example you might
like Eva Cassidy's version of 'Fields of Gold', but it is performed by a solo
singer with a guitar and there is little scope for developing it as a choir
song. We will happily give advice if you have questions in this area. Please
note that we require at least 4 weeks' notice per song.
Q. Will I be allowed to have the songs I want at a Catholic wedding ceremony?
A. All of our songs have a religious message and we have rarely met with any
objections to our singing them in church. However, we strongly recommend that
you consult with the celebrant about your choice of songs, particularly if we
are preparing new material for you that we have not sung at weddings before.
Q. I'm not sure what kind of songs are sung at different
points during the wedding ceremony. Can you help?
We will happily make suggestions as to what songs are appropriate for the various
stages of the ceremony. We would normally perform approximately 7 songs at each
wedding ceremony, in addition to the mass parts (Gloria, Hallelujah etc
)
and, if you wish, a psalm. (The psalm can also be read by a friend or relative).
Remember that some of the songs -such as those at the Offertory and the Communion
- will need to be fairly slow, while others - for example the song(s) at the
signing of the register - can be more upbeat.
Q. Do the Gospel Project play at weddings/functions outside
of Dublin?
A. We are happy to play outside of Dublin, provided our time and traveling expenses
are covered. For rates contact info@thegospelproject.com
Q. Do the Gospel Project perform at corporate events?
A. Yes. For this type of event we would usually use a full band in addition
to piano. For rates contact .
Q. Do the Gospel Project do any recording work with other
bands/songwriters?
A. The Gospel Project have considerable experience recording jingles as well
as original material by other artists. For rates contact .
Q. Are the Gospel Project available for charity gigs?
A. The Gospel Project are happy to perform at charity gigs, however it is not
possible for us to participate in all of the events we are invited to play at.
Please inquire well in advance of the event and we will do our very best to
help.
