African Gospel Choir Dublin sometimes colloquially referred to as AGCD is a 15+ member, all volunteer choir of African descent. The choir was founded in 2008 by Adeniyi Allen-Taylor.

. The choir has performed at various concerts including Mela Festival, World gathering of Families, Oba Nla Concert, Sounds of Afrika-Heilbronn Germany just to mention a few and just recently at the garden party for the president of Ireland at the Áras an Uachtaráin

The Mission Statement of the Choir is making music with a purpose - to bring people close to the Lord. The choir showcases and helps develop the talents of young African singers in Ireland, and also to present to the world the richness in the voice and the 

melody of an all African Choir. The goal of the choir is to inspire and influence people positively and to promote Gospel music through African culture.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 8th and 9th for the final weekend of #Portumnafestivalseason.
