Tom Kelsey - Tenor

When did you join BCGC? 2015
What's your favourite BCGC song? 'Total Praise' was my favourite from the first time I saw BCGC perform, but now I'm a member myself, perhaps also 'Thou O Lord' (amongst many, many others...)
What's your favourite BCGC moment (so far!)? Dancing with my 11 week old daughter to 'High and Lifted Up' at her first gig, a BCGC concert in Maze. She stayed awake for the entire concert, thoroughly enjoying it. Since becoming a part of the choir, there are too many 'favourite' moments; the concerts have been great and but some of the best times have been at practices, where the craic (and joy) is always mighty
What's been your favourite BCGC gig? Hard to beat the first time I saw BCGC perform at a concert for Wateraid in Lurgan, 2013. They blew me away and I immediately had a burning desire to join in the fun! Since joining the choir there have been so many amazing gigs and experiences, but one of my favourites was in Holywood in January 2016; the reaction of those attending to some of the songs was so emotional and there was a great energy coming from the crowd
What song would you love BCGC to include in their set? Perhaps 'For Once in my Life' by Stevie Wonder, or 'Ding Dong Merrily on High' for Christmas. Is there a more ludicrous Christmas song?
Why should I come and see BCGC in action? Because there's no better way to brighten your day
