Qween & The Dublin Gospel Choir
Qween & The Dublin Gospel Choir
Following fantastic sold out performances at the Theatre Royal and Winterval Big Top in 2024, Qween & The Dublin Gospel Choir join forces once more to perform all of rock legends Queen’s biggest hits in the The Haven in Dunmore East on Saturday 27 June. Tickets €30 including booking fees.
Since their inception a few years ago Qween have grown in popularity very quickly selling out venues all across Ireland and gracing the stages of some of Ireland's biggest music festivals.
In 2022, the band featured over two days at the Forever Young Festival, with performances that included guest appearances from Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet) and Mark Shaw (Then Jerico). Such was the response, the band was booked for the festival's main stage in 2023, the first time a tribute band had been granted the privilege. Also in 2022, Qween took their show to a new level by drafting in The Dublin Gospel Choir for bigger events. With Queen, there was the live band (just the four band members) and then there was the studio band, where lush arrangements and overdubbed guitars and vocals were the signature sound. Qween decided that the next step would be to bridge the gap with a gospel choir, and it took things up another level. The new show led to sold-out dates in much bigger venues, culminating in a sold-out show in Limerick’s King John’s Castle in 2024, where 3,000 Queen fans packed the site for two hours of a beautiful marriage of Queen’s studio arrangements played with the edge of a live band and choir.
Brian Keville is no stranger to playing Freddie Mercury, having portrayed the singer in the Live Aid drama “When Harvey Met Bob” alongside Domhnall Gleeson’s mouthy Bob Geldof. “Freddie had a way about everything he did that is hard to capture. You need to totally forget who you are and create this larger-than-life persona with total commitment to your audience,” said Keville. “A real bushy moustache also helps!”.
