Mariot said: “Taking part in the choir provides real social and emotional benefits.
“That’s why we’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from Rainbow House, the local community, the global singing community and from the government, to make sure that every choir member can now access our sessions and be supported to gain confidence in getting online.”
Since launching as an independent, non-audition community choir in March 2019, and until Covid struck, the group met on Wednesdays at Tamfourhill Community Hub with a ‘pay what you can afford’ approach, starting from £2-per-week.
During the pandemic, all online provision, including pre-recorded YouTube singing sessions, has been delivered free of charge to choristers and interested members of the public.
