Selling out the main auditorium of Corrin Event Centre for one night is an achievement, selling it out for 3 shows over one weekend is an achievement and a half.

The people with the pulling power that most promoters would give their right arm for are Cór Geal - a 53 member male/female choir who draw members from a catchment that includes Whitechurch, Carraig-na-bhFear, Grenagh, Blarney, Berrings, Upper Glanmire and Watergrasshill.

The choir was formed in 2009 by its current musical director, Betty Fitzgerald.
