The pandemic has been a tough time for the entertainment industry - especially for performers. But many are adapting to the changed landscape.
Fancy something different to celebrate Ireland’s national holiday? You can now get a gig in your gaff with Celtic Tenor Matthew Gilsenan.
He went from farming to a UCD Engineering graduate to choral singer to prize winning soloist to internationally acclaimed platinum recording artist with Celtic Tenors.
Then when lockdown came he was in the United States touring with the Celtic Tenors and all their dates were cancelled and he had to come home.
With no income coming in he had to go back to his engineering career to help make ends meet. But now fans can Book Matthew Gilsenan to play exclusively for you and your chosen guests with New Online Theatre www.yourconcertgate.com which presents Private Zoom Concerts for St Patrick’s Weekend.
"You can invite family and friends from anywhere around the world to their private Zoom concert," Matthew explains.
"Fans can even choose a selection of songs from the playlist provided, then invite their guests, sit back and enjoy the experience."
The private Zoom concert will be delivered using state-of-the-art technology: HD streaming via high-end camera set up, top-end studio microphones, and professional lighting.
