We started ‘All Together Now’, our new community choir, in September 2009.

There are a few places left for the January term You can find out more, and enrol online here

We’re currently gathering information on good places to publicise the organisation, to update our records. If you know of places in or around Edinburgh where we can put up posters and/or leave fliers, please give us details, with the name of the place, and the street address if possible.

We’ll also be contacting local radio stations in the New Year, to see if we can arrange to get some publicity. It would be useful to know if there’s anyone interested in being interviewed, to talk about SMG, should the opportunity arise! Please contact Ros if you’d be interested in helping with this!

The latest addition to our range of merchandise, a fairtrade cotton tea towel with The Slender Tree words and motif, was officially unfurled at the Diggers Session fundraising concert .

Priced at £4 for members and £5 for non-members, the tea cloots are now on sale via our web site shop and at SMG classes and events.

The song ‘The Slender Tree’ was written by Anne Renshaw, and the design is thanks to Sangstream member Helen Wyllie.
