Meetings and Schedule

Meetings

The group meets on 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month, 7–9pm. If you would like to join us, please get in touch with Nicolas Le Bigre at n.lebigre@abdn.ac.uk. We meet in Room 051, on the ground floor of the MacRobert Building (along the corridor from the Elphinstone Institute). Meetings alternate between workshops and practices.

Woman standing in circle, clapping and singing. Workshops feature a teacher and facilitator. These meetings are dedicated to learning songs from Scotland, Poland, and occasionally elsewhere. Members are encouraged to suggest and teach songs to the group.

Practices are dedicated to singing songs from the group's ever-growing repertoire. Members are encouraged to share stories and jokes, as well.
