Witness the Magical Performance of Hallelujah at an Irish Wedding
Hallelujah at an Irish Wedding. Ireland is known for its beauty, hospitality and musical talent. Recently, wedding guests were in for a special treat when the priest at Chris and Leah O’ Kane’s nuptials performed a beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah”.
The song was sung by Father Ray Kelly of County Meath, who is well known for his silky voice. He is often asked to sing at weddings and funerals, and has even released three albums. But on the day of Chris and Leah’s wedding, no one expected this surprise performance.
The ceremony had hired a band called Sunlight to play music. However, when the music stopped, a backing track to “Hallelujah” started playing and all eyes were on Sunlight who just shook their heads. This was when Father Kelly began singing his rewritten version of the song, to celebrate the couple taking this big step in their lives together.
The performance was so moving that it even brought the priest to tears. The crowd was in awe and cheered him on with a standing ovation at the end of his performance. Thanks to local videographer Patrick Rushe, we can relive this amazing moment over and over again as he uploaded it online for everyone to enjoy.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience shows a side of Ireland that we don’t often get to see. And if you’re wondering if Father Kelly is considering a career change, he says he loves what he does and won’t be leaving his post any time soon. So, for an unforgettable experience in the Emerald Isle, plan your trip and come witness this amazing talent yourself!
