Bereits zur ersten Singstunde im Februar 1999 trafen sich ca. 80 Männer und Frauen
im Vereinsheim, die von diesem Gesangs-Projekt begeistert waren.
Als musikalischen Leiter konnte man Reiner Senger gewinnen, der dem Liederkranz Kirrlach über Jahre hinweg freundschaftlich verbunden war. Herr Senger hatte bereits durch die erfolgreiche Leitung anderer Chöre in der Sparte Gospel, Jazz und Blues Erfahrung gesammelt.
Höhepunkt des Projekts war das Abschlusskonzert im Oktober 1999 vor über 1800 Zuhörern in der Rheintalhalle Kirrlach im Rahmen der Jubiläumsfeierlichkeiten des
MGV Liederkranz.
Aufgrund des großen Erfolges und der Begeisterung der Chormitglieder wurde beschlossen, diesen neu entstandenen Gospelchor neben dem Männerchor als festen Bestandteil in den MGV Liederkranz Kirrlach 1864 e. V. zu integrieren.
