With all good wishes

A.M. CHORUS VIRTUAL CONCERT WEDNESDAY 25 MARCH 2020 AT 11:30
If you missed the concert you can still take part.....
The AM Chorus were booked to give a Concert at the David Cargill Centre on Wednesday 25 March at 11.30am. This has had to be cancelled. Instead, we intend to sing at that time at home, individually, accompanied by Youtube, the songs which were to be sung at the Concert. It will make us all feel good.
I thought members of the congregation at 11.30am on 25 March might like to join us, by singing these songs, in their homes, accompanied by YouTube. I am sure they would feel the better for doing so.

A.M. CHORUS VISIT TO WOMEN’S GUILD - 29 JANUARY 2020
A day we had all been waiting for - the A M Chorus had been invited to entertain the Women’s Guild!! Because of restriction of space at Mosspark Church Hall, the invitation was restricted to four men and six ladies. This presented our first problem - team selection. No one would want to be left out!! However, that particular problem was easily solved- no one wanted to be included. Everyone claimed they were not good enough!!
A more rough and ready selection policy had to be put in place, and as a result, after a 30 minute practice after our normal session, in fact twelve individuals found themselves making their way to Mosspark. Bobby Craig kept us on edge by arriving with a carload of four “volunteers” five minutes before curtain up!!
We were warmly welcomed - “ Good to see you, Big Man” said our own Cameron Aitken as he belted me on the back!
Our audience settled, and after a short service, we found ourselves in the spotlight under the direction of Aidan McCusker. The audience were mesmerised by his smooth professional approach. “ You are in for a treat”,he claimed!
With Dott at the piano, we managed twelve numbers - all our old favourites - Dark Island,That’s Amore, Uist Tramping Song,Mountains of Mourne, If you were the only girl in the World, Merry Widow Waltz, Edelweiss, I can’t Help Falling in Love with You, and Thank you for the Music - to name but a few. Our audience was enthusiastic and appreciative, joining in at appropriate times.
Afterwards, we enjoyed an excellent afternoon tea, and proceedings concluded with a bible reading, a prayer and a hymn.
We were very grateful to the Guild for their invitation.
Possibly we enjoyed it even more than they did. I think some of our number do not realise how good they are!!
Further invitations are encouraged and will be dealt with on their merits!!
Wednesday practices are now attracting up to 45 - number, not age!!
All the best Brian
