LEITH FORUM COMMUNITY CHOIR

The Leith Forum Community Choir is a project group drawn from the Church of Scotland congregations in Leith, friends and local residents who fancy a sing! Our first project was "A Celebration of Christmas" during December 2009 when we had a great evening of music-making and raised £1,450 for Christian Aid. Future projects include singing some items at a Come and Sing Songs from the Musicals event in partnership with Waverley Care on Saturday 19th June 2010 at Pilrig St Paul's. Stay tuned to the news page for details.
