The choir also featured (along with Chris de Burgh) on a special New Year's Day BBC Songs of Praise programme which was reputedly broadcast to over 35 million viewers worldwide.[4] The group has performed with Paddy Casey, Rod Stewart, OutKast, Kodaline, Damien Rice, The Chieftains and Stevie Wonder.[5][6][7]
