In September 1987 a young (very young, even !) , recently graduated, musician was recruited as accompanist to the Glasgow Phoenix Choir by then conductor Peter Shand. Fast forward thirty years and Cameron Murdoch, accompanist and Depute Conductor is still with us (and still young !). The choir has benefited greatly from his input over the years, not only as accompanist but as Depute Conductor and arranger of many of the pieces performed in concert by the choir. To recognise this contribution and celebrate his 30th. Anniversary the choir presented Cameron with a ‘Phoenix Long Service Wave’ and a celebration cake (specially made and decorated by one of our choristers).Cameron, “Thank You For The Music” over the last thirty years and, we hope, for many years to come.

Earlier this year we paid tribute to our chorister members who had been in the choir for 25 years or more. A fantastic achievement for all and living proof, if any were needed, that singing is good for you and keeps you young ! Well done one and all and thank you for your commitment and loyalty. We look forward to singing with you for many more years to come. (click on the image for a review of our longer serving choristers)
