Community type choir in Porty

[Porty Pixie]

Hi all! Apologies if this is in the wrong place or repeating anything!

Is there a community choir in Portobello? If not, why not, and does anyone want to start one?!

cheers

Hi Jeanne, couldn't start one but would love to join one.

I currently sing with Sangstream up in Boroughmuir. I'd be interested in a community choir here though (as long as it doesn't meet on a Thursday!) I've had some limited experience in leading a group of singers.

Go for it Bazza! Do you look like Gareth Malone?

[Vikki]

Sounds good - I'd love to get involved in a choir! Vikki

[Porty]

Long time since I sang in public (karaoke excepted) wouldn't mind giving it a go.

Go for it Bazza! Do you look like Gareth Malone?

If you're getting in to community singing in order to meet men, you're going to be disappointed!!

I was at the Muckle Sing out in Linlithgow this year, and there must've been about 80 people there. Four of us were male...

[gillian]

No, believe me, that's not what I'm looking for, just got a soft spot for Gareth

[Porty]

Moist or soft?

[gillian]

Deffo soft. he's just a wee manboy.

[gillian]

And any more comments like that and you will have us chucked out the choir!!

[Porty]

Barred before we start- this is sounding like a proper Choir already!!!

[Bob Jefferson]

Jeanne/Bazza/Rosa, have you made any progress with this?

[Mark Cameron]

There was some talk about starting a local choir. Anyone interested should email Kirsty Baird (Kirsty.singinthecity@choiredinburgh.co.uk) to note interest. If she gets enough email interest she will make it happen.

[gillian]

Very exciting!

I have it on good authority that a community choir is starting in April and will be based in a local church hall. The choir leader is very experienced and a fabulous singer in her own right. I will get more info and post it here as soon as I can.

The choir is happening. See Announcements page for more info.
