Doing Their Thing
Religion gets down and dirty
In the wrong hands, gospel music can be a right load of happy-clappy tripe – so it’s refreshing to encounter a gem like Dublin Gospel Choir’s Doing Their Thing, produced by Autamata’s Ken McHugh. There’s an uplifting exuberance to ‘Liberty Bell’ whilst Emma Wigglesworth, taking the lead role on ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’, is a serious find. But the real treasure is their stunning version of ‘Something So Wonderful’, written by Henry Priestman (of The, er, Christians) and Eleanor McEvoy, a self-confessed, born-again atheist. The devil might not have all the best tunes, but he can work wonders with a co-write.
