Book the Choir
Bookings are handled by our Business Managers.
As well as promoting its own concerts the choir is available for hire for fundraising or performance events from large Arts and Music Festivals and Corporate Functions to small church fundraising concerts. In the past the choir has performed at the BBC Proms London, Celtic Connections Music Festival Glasgow, The West End Festival Glasgow, concerts for the Gubbay Organisation, soundtracks for Channel 4 television, and many other events. It isn't all serious though, and some of the choir have recently been involved in the filming of BBC Scotland's TV comedy "Still Game".
Fees
At the moment the fees for such engagements begin at £550.00 + VAT at 17.5% depending on the nature of the event and venue, plus expenses generally consisting of coach hire and modest choir subsistence. Running a choir like this is an expensive business, despite being a not-for-profit organisation. The above fee structure assists the Choir in meeting its costs for Conductor's and Accompanist's professional fees, the purchase and commissioning of music for Choir performance and general administrative charges.
Should you book the choir we may also be able to facilitate selling tickets for your event online via this website and "thebooth.co.uk" - see the concerts page of this site for examples of how this would work or contact our Business Manager for full details.
Dress
For more formal concerts ladies wear full length black dresses with white chiffons, and gents wear black mandarin collar jackets with white handkerchiefs as shown in the picture. For less formal surroundings, the gentlemen have white dinner jackets with randomly coloured or tartan handkerchiefs and the ladies replace their white chiffons with a randomly coloured or tartan one as shown on the right.
