A tale of two choirs…

MORE than 3,670 locals in Kilkenny have set an Irish and European record for assembling the most Christmas carol singers in one spot, the local GAA ground. But did anyone notice that the world record of 7,514 carol singers was set by the Bob Jones University in South Carolina in December 2004 – where Ian Paisley received his ‘doctorate’? I’m sure he won’t be gloating… after all, it’s a time for gaadwill to all men.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
