What better place for the 32 singers from St. John's Newfoundland under the direction of Ms. Maria Conkey than to present the first concert of their 2012 Performance Tour at a fellow coastal town. First
Donaghadee Presbyterian Church, located in beautiful Donaghadee which is about 30 minutes outside of Belfast on Northern Ireland's stunning coast is the locality. Donaghadee is a
growing town on the north coast of County Down, six miles from the historic
town of Bangor and approximately 20 miles east of Belfast.
With a
population of about 8,000 inhabitants, Donaghadee is the closest point to
Scotland, so close in fact, that the Scottish coast is visible to the naked eye
on clear days. The town offers a rich history, having been one of the main
ports of entry to the island of Ireland until the 19th Century.
Aside from the historical buildings reflecting its rich heritage, the town has
a picturesque seafront, a wide range of cafes and restaurants.
