Classes for song
We work on a wide variety of (mainly) Scots songs in a lively and sociable group. The group learns songs by ear and performs at occasional community events.

We’re starting a brand new community choir – be in at the beginning!
This will be a different kind of choir, singing a wide variety of songs. Part sing-song (with any songs you’d like to bring along) part learning arranged harmonies (with lots of help, support and encouragement) and a chance to try singing in smaller groups if you want to. Everyone’s welcome – no particular skills necessary. Only condition – willingness to listen and have ago!
