I'm based in Dublin and I‘ve been singing at funeral masses for many years now. I’m privileged to be part of this important sacrament and I always endeavour to perform with sincerity and compassion.

Please mention any particular music requests you have. If you would like accompaniment other than the church organ I can arrange one or a combination of the following musician(s);
Pianist – Harpist – Violinist - String Quartet – guitar

 

Please call me at any time of the day if you need advice or have any queries 087 2287873 or email me at info@sonyagrimes.com
