The Ball Brothers return to Northern Ireland

The Ball brothers will be returning to Northern Ireland as part of their 2012 European Tour.  The group will be performing across the country from April 10 – 17 2012. 

The Ball Brothers first came to notoriety in 2006 when they appeared on the Gaither Gospel Series video, “Get Away Jordon”, and their ministry has grown rapidly since then.  The group performs over 150 concerts per year across North America and Europe.  In 2010, their album, “Breakthrough” was nominated for Album of the Year by the Southern Gospel News. And in 2011 they were honoured to win the Favourite Horizon Group award from the Singing News magazine.  Their recently released music video of the song “It’s About The Cross”, has spread rapidly across the internet.

Three real-life brothers, Andrew, Daniel and Josh, along with their lifelong friend, Andy Tharp make up the vocalists in the group.  Cody McVey also travels with the Ball Brothers as pianist.  With their vast array of musical style, coupled with their distinctive, tight harmony, The Ball Brothers will capture the hearts of audiences of all ages.
