Pop Choir: A fortnightly group, very enthusiastic and committed, still growing (new members are welcome). We sing arrangements of pop songs from the 60s on (a few earlier). Very good for skills-building, and lots of makey-uppey harmonising. We're currently meeting in members' homes. Contact Yvonne for details.

Voice Howff: Fife community choir formed in 2002, following the example of Voice House in Edinburgh. Meets fortnightly in Auchtermuchty with members coming from all around the Howe of Fife. Also open to all comers, and a welcoming group.

Voice House: over 100-strong community choir founded in 1990. We have been expanding steadily over the past 5 or 6 years and in particular have been glad to welcome more younger people and men! NO experience or confidence required. Songs range from Scottish and Eastern European traditional through the occasional pop song to African and spirituals. See the Voice House web site for details

All Together Now: this new, enlarged do-it-yourself harmony choir has grown (or been grown) out of the Bring Your Own Harmony group. Like its predecessor, the focus is still on finding our own way towards harmonising - with support and a little bit of guidance from me, and some exercises and walkabout games, including the Grand Old Duke of Drone!

Jammies: Founded in 2003, the Jammies are a group of more confident singers (no music reading required). As the name suggests, we do some jamming and D.I.Y. harmonising (and are sweet and well-blended), and sing some original material by myself and others, including Morag Carmichael. We had our Fringe debut in August 2007.

Spirituals Workshops: heartall-day Saturday workshops, held in Stockbridge Parish Church Hall - an exciting and beautiful place to sing, with wonderful acoustics. At these workshops I teach my own chants and chorus-style songs . There is lots of jamming/improvising, as well as learning parts, and after-lunch "story-telling". These are very peaceful and inspiring days that build a good sense of community between the participants.

Three CDs of my material have been recorded by the Spirituals Workshop groups: Light Returning, Hand in Hand and Songs of the Earth and Heart, Volume 1. All are available to purchase for £10.00 each, text and dots/sheet music £5.00 extra, p&p included.

Themed Days: Since early 2009 we have branched out on Saturdays, to sing the songs of particular favourite songwriters. So far, we have had two Beatles Days and two Cat Stevens days. More to follow, and suggestions welcome.
