This week on Hibernian Radio, Paddy Houlihan welcomes back cardiologist, sports medicine specialist, and Executive Director of the Chicago Irish Singers Club, Dr. Christine Lawless. Christine talks about the remarkable growth of the club, which has expanded from three people at its first meeting to more than 260 members, and explains the group’s mission to preserve traditional Irish singing for future generations. Christine is joined in the studio by two rising voices from the club, Matt Jenrick and Zach Holbrook O’Neil. They discuss their paths into Irish singing, their passion for the Irish language, and how the club has strengthened their connection to heritage and community. Christine also highlights recent performances, including a collaboration with the Shannon Rovers and the famine commemoration at Gaelic Park. The group talks about upcoming holiday events, the distinct style of Irish vocal tradition, and the importance of welcoming new singers.
