"Out of Darkness" was written for the Wicklow Pride Festival by Emmy® award winning composer, Jordan Montgomery, and Irish songwriter and vocalist, Conor Ebbs. Proceeds will go to support the Festival, which aims to bring the entire community together, without prejudice, without fear, by acknowledging 'difference' and embracing diversity. Their motto is to 'promote Equality for all, create awareness of Diversity and encourage inclusion of everyone, so that we can celebrate as one community at Wicklow Pride Festival.' "We are thrilled with the song", says Cofounder of the Festival Dave Thomas. "To have a song written specifically for us, and by a team that consists of an Emmy® award winner, is incredible. The beautiful melody with the extremely important lyrics deliver a song with a real message of hope, of inspiration and will, I am sure, inspire those that are hiding in the shadows to come out, accept themselves for who they are, come out of the darkness and into the light, where they will find happiness. Even in 2016, there are many people that are still hiding their sexuality, some questioning who they are, and this can cause a lot of misery and stress. Ireland has come a long way, especially since Marriage Equality became recognised by the people of Ireland, but we need to do more, as we are far from living in a society that accepts diversity and 'difference'. If we continue to work as one community, we can make more positive changes, so let's continue the amazing work and achievements when it comes to Equality in Ireland. Wicklow Pride Festival was created for that purpose, and we encourage people to join us, be part of this movement, be part of this positive change for us all."
