East Calder (The Village)

This is where it all started! Founded in 2021, the choir welcomes singers of all abilities and backgrounds, from absolute beginners to those with years of experience. The group prides itself on being inclusive and friendly, with no auditions required to join. The repertoire spans everything from contemporary pop and musical theatre to traditional Scottish folk songs. Rehearsals are lively and full of laughter, with an emphasis on enjoyment and community spirit as much as vocal technique. Members regularly perform at community events, festivals, and charity fundraisers, helping to bring music to spaces across West Lothian and Edinburgh. The choir has built a strong reputation for its warm sound and welcoming ethos, drawing people from all over.
