Calling all choirs! RTÉ are looking for this year's Christmas soundtrack - it could be yours

Choirs up and down the country are busy rehearsing again and preparing for special Christmas celebrations. 

RTÉ lyric fm are encouraging choirs to join in the choral celebration and send in a recording to the RTÉ lyric fm Choirs for Christmas Competition. 

As always, a selection of submissions will be chosen for airplay on Evelyn Grant's Weekend Drive from Monday December 9.

RTÉ are looking for the soundtrack to Christmas so your entries will be posted and available to listen to on the RTÉ lyric fm Choirs for Christmas webpage. 

In the meantime check out their webpage for details as to how to enter here.

RTÉ lyric fm producer Gail Henry said "It's the most wonderful time of the year when the Choirs of Christmas entries start rolling into the office. The team and I just love listening to the entries to hear the vocal stylings and talent from all around the country. So please don't be shy - share your talents, sing your hearts out and send us in an MP3 before December 1. We can't wait to hear from you and more than that we can't wait to share your performances with RTÉ lyric fm listeners. We have prizes on offer too! Limber up those vocal chords and get those feet tapping and shoulders swaying! Whether your song is jolly or calming it's your chance to shine on national radio and help our listeners experience the true magic of Christmas through your choir."

Closing date for the receipt of entries is Friday December 1 at 5pm.
