Our Music Groups
Gorbals Children's Choir
The Gorbals Children’s Choir brings together children from St. Francis’ Catholic Primary School and Blackfriars non-denominational Primary School to make music, make friends and sing around the Gorbals!
Sing for Life
Sing for Life is a daytime singing session that is deliberately smaller and more laid-back than the Community Choir and is especially suitable for older adults, individuals with health problems or anyone who would enjoy a gentle, uplifting singing session.
Strum for Life
Strum for Life is our community guitar class for all ages. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been jamming for years – we cater for everyone! Guitars are provided, or you can bring your own.
Sing for health
An inclusive, fun group singing session for people with disabilities and/or additional support needs. Sessions take place each Wednesday from 11am – 1pm at the Gorbals Parish Church, 1 Errol Gardens, G5 0RA. It is led by Michelle.
This is a small singing group where songs are taught by ear, participants are encouraged to incorporate movement into their singing and everyone gets the opportunity to sing their party piece!
Please email Clare, the Givin’ it Laldie mangaer givin.it.laldie@gmail.com to find out more and see if there is space in the choir.

The Laldie Sessions
We run weekly group singing sessions in McNeil Street and Moffat Street dementia units. We also run singing groups in the Blackfriars Court Sheltered Housing every three weeks. These are uplifting singing sessions for residents, friends, family and staff to allow people to connect to one another, improve their wellbeing and have fun.
