Mike Denver goes to church

THE singer known as The Galway Boy, Mike Denver, is best known for singing about a Galway Girl or Beautiful Sunday than he would be for singing in churches.
However, Mike and his band are no strangers to the altar and they do three church concerts around Galway this Christmas, one in his native Portumna, one in Corofin and a third in Tynagh where he did similar church concerts for the last two years.
But when Mike is singing on the altar he will not alter the programme of songs that he is best known for, according to his manager, Willie Carthy who says the church concerts have a lot in common with his theatre shows.
