FORGOTTEN CAROLS:
Researched & conducted by Ali Burns
This beautiful and atmospheric concert is fast becoming an essential part of Galloway's winter celebrations. It features "forgotten" carols originating from Britain's rich folk traditions. In this Homecoming year the focus will be on winter songs and carols associated with Scotland and emigrants to North America. The performance is woven together with readings of contemporary poetry and prose. The soloist this year will be the award winning Emily Smith and making a popular return as this year's reader is Dumfries based writer Tom Pow.
All tickets: £8 (includes mulled wine and mince pies)

Rehearsals
Our regular rehearsal time is Tuesday evening from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. We usually meet at the Gordon Memorial Hall in Castle Douglas.
Rehearsal sessions are open to everyone - there are no vocal auditions and new members are welcome. There are 2 "entry times" for new members each year, providing a two-week induction time to emphasize voice-work and choir skills, rather than learning new repetoires for performance.
Workshop and rehearsal fees are usually set on a 3-tier basis, which are intended to reflect a range of incomes. However, if you feel that even the lowest rate is beyond your means, please come along anyway and pay what you can afford.
