Good Vibrations began with a simple question: could people who had lost their larynx still sing? After total laryngectomy, voice is rebuilt from a new source — tracheoesophageal speech — and with careful work, singing becomes possible. More than that: joyful.

The choir meets weekly in Cork. It brings together people in different stages of recovery, clinical partners at SIVUH, and a singing-informed rehab approach that takes the person seriously — not just the voice.

Good Vibrations has been presented at three international conferences and featured in professional and public media across Ireland.

It gave me back more than a voice — it gave me a room full of people who understood.
