Edinburgh’s very own Love Music Community Choir (LMCC) are performing at the Usher Hall tonight (Tuesday) at 7.30pm and some tickets are still available.

LMCC was established to encourage Edinburgh residents of all abilities to sing, and it’s been a huge success – the ensemble is now the UK’s biggest community choir.

LMCC plan an evening of music to inspire and entertain, and with songs from Irving Berlin to Puccini, Jamaican Ska to Mexican Bolero, Latin Rumba, Gospel and Rufus Wainwright in there too there’s truly something for everyone!

Conductor is Stephen Deazley, pianist Dave Milligan with special guest musicians Dougie Hudson on drums and percussion and Andy Cooke on Ugandan instruments.

The concert will last approximately 90 minutes. Tickets are£3 | Free to under 16 or unwaged. £1 transaction fee when booking online / phone. Tonight’s event is supported by the Usher Hall and The City of Edinburgh Council.

LMCC aims to inspire Edinburgh to sing – there no auditions and people with all levels of experience are welcome. For more info: www.choir.lovemusic.org.uk

WANTED: More people to make more noise!

Timebank Temptations start the new term on

Thursday 22 August 10am – 12 at North Edinburgh Arts.

We need more people to join us – your local friendly community singing group!

We sing a huge range of songs and everyone is free to chip in with something they particularly like.

Whether you think you’ve got a great voice or that you sound like a cat being strangled we want you to come along. None of us thought we could do this when we started, but we have a great time. Really brilliant for cheering yourself up when you’re a bit down.

Anyone is welcome any Thursday morning – come along and see for yourself!

No, not those Temptations - the Timebank Temptations! — No, not those Temptations – the Timebank Temptations!

Sing, sing, sing!

The timebank singers, now called North Edinburgh Sings Together, want to recruit more members.

We meet Thursday mornings, 10-12 at North Edinburgh Arts. Everyone is welcome, you don’t have to be a great singer. It’s a relaxed informal way to enjoy singing, and we positively welcome new people dropping in. You don’t have to make any commitment, come along any Thursday when you can. We’re also keen that speakers of other languages get involved as we would like to learn songs from around the world.

We are also looking for a pianist to accompany the group on Thursday mornings. We can pay them for their time! So any local musician with time on a Thursday morning, let us know!
