With their first live performance under their belt, David announces to the choir that he wants to stage a finale gig to celebrate and thank them and their fellow frontline healthcare workers. He reveals they will be performing in Dublin Castle that will feature an array of stars including Aslan, Paul Brady, Imelda May and Sibéal Ní Chasaide.

As the choir members eagerly grab any spare minutes they can between their busy shifts to rehearse at home, in work, or in their cars on their daily commute, all roads lead to Dublin Castle as they take to the stage to sing their hearts out.

Series overview:

World-renowned conductor David Brophy is back with a new choir made up of healthcare workers who risked their lives working tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following on from the success of ‘The High Hopes Choir’. ‘The Choir of Ages’ and ‘David Brophy’s Unsung Heroes’, world-renowned conductor David Brophy is back with a new choir made up of the healthcare workers who risked their lives working tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Throughout the pandemic, David and the rest of the nation have been in awe of our healthcare workers. From patient-facing medical teams to those who ensure the smooth running of our hospitals and care facilities, these people have gone above and beyond to care for their patients while putting their own safety at risk and making huge personal sacrifices.

This three-part series will watch as an exceptional choir made up of doctors, nurses, porters, ICU staff, nursing home workers, members of housekeeping and medical administration staff based across Ireland meet initially on Zoom and gradually, and in line with Government guidelines, make it to in-person outdoor rehearsals. Over the course of their musical journey, the choir will produce a music video in memory of their fallen colleagues featuring the U2 song ‘Sometimes You Can’t Make it on Your Own’ which will be viewed over 100,000 times by a global audience, they will perform at an emotional concert for their loved ones and they will get the chance to sing alongside some of their musical heroes at a very special finale concert.

The three-part series will not only tell the story of the choir but also the stories of the individual members, the people behind the PPE who risked everything to help others during the fight against Covid-19.
