Christmas at the Cathedral returns to Armagh on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 December for the eighth year to celebrate the true essence of Christmas through the beauty of music and song.


The sacred surroundings of St Patrick’s Cathedral will come alive with the stirring melodies of renowned folk and spiritual artist Malachi Cush. Malachi will be joined by acclaimed baritone Karl McGuckin, Armagh’s own vocal gem Eilis Fox, and the talented choir from St Catherine’s College.



Accompanied by a full chamber orchestra, Christmas at the Cathedral promises to usher in the Christmas season with grandeur and grace in one of the most majestic of settings.

Speaking of Christmas at the Cathedral, Malachi said:


“Of all the performances I’m blessed to take part in during the festive season, Christmas at the Cathedral is by far my favourite. The event holds such a special place in my heart as it provides the audience with the opportunity to get together with friends and family in a breathtaking venue to sit back and pause while soaking in the true spirit of Christmas.


“The heartwarming musical arrangements, whether they be familiar carols or moving solos, are designed to evoke cherished memories of Christmas past while creating new memories to take into the future.



“I am looking forward to sharing the stage again with my dear friend Karl McGuckin, who needs no introduction, and to welcome the enchanting Eilis Fox, whose distinctive voice is one of Armagh’s treasures. The vibrant voices of the choir from St Catherine’s College will add a youthful and uplifting energy to the evening and I have no doubt that the audience will leave the concert filled with the magic of Christmas.”


As Ambassador for St Vincent de Paul in the Northern Region, Malachi has chosen to support SVP with a donation from the event on Friday 13 December with St Patrick’s Cathedral benefiting on Thursday.


Tickets for Christmas at the Cathedral are priced at £22.50 and are available now online here.
