First it was our new quiz night, then it was our annual quiz night and then came Covid – now it’s back!! Get your Paddy’s weekend off to a great start with a night out with the choir. Compered by the wonderful Sean Lyons, the questions could be tricky but the craic will be mighty.
It’s time to close admissions to the choir for this term. With five rehearsals already under our belts, it would be too much of an ask for new members to be in any way prepared for the upcoming concerts in April. Please if you had a notion to join us this year, come to one of the concerts (details to appear here shortly), see what we’re about and then you can join us in September for the Christmas program. You will be very welcome!
And Kerry Choral Union is ready to sing all about it.
With a luxury selection box of musical talent, do we have a show for you. Tickets are available from Kerry Choral Union members and at the door on the night. Come on in out of the cold and let us put you in the festive spirit!
Throughout the year, we work with charities and schools around the county to help them raise funds for the great work they do. In order to do that effectively, however, we need to raise funds ourselves to cover our overheads – enter the hardworking ladies of our FLC (Fund Loving Crew). They have been planning and plotting a series of events to supplement our coffers and the first of these is the Bake Sale & More, which is being held in St. John’s Parish Centre on Sunday, November 26th, from 11 a.m. Having sampled some of the baking of my fellow choristers in the past, I can tell you that the Bake Sale will be enough of a draw on the day, but the ladies have gone above and beyond and will bring you preloved clothes and books, plants and even our lovely new Kerry Choral Union tote bags. I’m also told that there’ll be hot chocolate and crêpes available on the day and fabulous door prizes too! Please do come and join us, all are welcome.
By all these lovely tokens,
Helen Hunt Jackson
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather,
And autumn’s best of cheer.
September has arrived and it has decided to be a summer month this year. And while we will enjoy every ounce of sunshine that we get, we will still be singing Christmas songs come Wednesday night! Why? Because Kerry Choral Union are back to rehearsals at Collis Sandes House at 7:30 pm. Members, you know the drill, bring the music that you have, your water and a pencil. New members, you are always welcome! Come along fifteen minutes early and we will sort you out. Sharon will get you to sing a few scales to figure out what line you’re in and we’ll take it from there. There’s no obligation to join on the first night, you can give it a few weeks to see how you like it. Come for the music, stay for the craic!
See you all on Wednesday!
