Voices of Longford continue to prepare for their maiden show

Voices of Longford, the new group that emerged in 2025 to bring the best four-part harmonies to the stage, continues its big push as it leads to February 26-28 for “Hey! Old Friends!”

Via their social media, the group has been notifying avid supporters of the quick selling out of tickets in the Backstage Theatre.

As often emphasised by the organisers of the group, they wanted to tell Longford readers of the talented and experienced members who are helping making everything possible.

This week, Emer McGowan is highlighted as one of the main four visionaries. A graduate of Trinity College Dublin and the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Emer's experiences have been from teaching in the UK, which led to students performing in West End, to performing in the Royal Albert Hall.
