Irish Christians now have an ensemble every bit as skilled and uplifting as London's All Soul's Orchestra & Choir. The New Irish singers and instrumentalists have been skilfully produced by Jonathan Rea in the renowned Windmill Lane recording studios (Ireland's equivalent to Abbey Road) as the pristine audio quality as choir and orchestra run through such stirring modern worship anthems as Tomlin's "Our God"; Hillsong's "Cornerstone"; Phil Wickham's "This Is Amazing Grace" and Bethel Music's "No Longer Slaves". The latter features a strong vocals from soloist Vicky Schmidt (whose name I don't recognise) though most of the other featured vocalists, Aaron Keyes, Paul Baloche and Stuart Townend will be familiar to all modern worship devotees. All in all, an uplifting musical experience.

Product Description
The New Irish Choir & Orchestra have been making a real impact through their music and ministry and their collaboration with other writers and artists. First album ‘Worship’ - a mix of ancient and modern - was very well received, and so anticipation for this release is high.
The tracklist contains a smorgasboard of extremely popular and impacting songs and features guest vocals from Paul Baloche, Aaron Keyes and Stuart Townend.
