Homonics
Homonics are a trio of gay male singers and have been spreading the love ever since their first performance at Hand in Hand Brighton 2015. The trio share a love of music and craic, and perform a broad range of music, from class to sass!
In 2015 Ireland voted to extend marriage to same sex couples and some months after that referendum we three were attending the UK & Ireland Hand in Hand Festival in Brighton. As the only Irish contingent attending the festival we three were asked if we would sing a song to mark the passing of the referendum in Ireland, so we were delighted to take to the stage that evening and we three performed for the very first time. We are still proud of the fact that our first performance was on the same stage where ABBA won the Eurovision with Waterloo!!!! Since that time we three now live in 3 different countries but thankfully our music will always take a place in our friendship and lives.
2 out of the 3 of us were involved in organising Various Voices Dublin and the 3rd played piano at the festival – Various Voices means a lot to us. Collectively we 3 have been members of LGBT+ choral groups of some kind for over 60 years so we have many friends in attendance. Various Voices give us an amazing opportunity to meet our friends both old and new and also to share music and learn from our peers.
