A Choir for the Community in and around Barryroe, Courtmacsherry, Timoleague, Clonakilty
Imagine you’re a schoolteacher on your end of term break. You’ve just finished your breakfast on Christmas Eve in the year 1818 when there’s a panicked rap on the door.
Bleary-eyed, you open the door to the local young priest who is clutching a piece of paper. “We have a major problem “ he blurts.
So you invite him in and pacing up and down eventually says. “Franz, You can’t play the organ at midnight mass tonight. The river burst its banks last night and although the flood has subsided from the church - the organ is completely ruined.”

It would greatly enhance the choir to redress the balance and recruit more male singers.
So if you are male please be encouraged to come along, have some fun and give it a lash! (as they say around these parts)
And if you are female - you are still most welcome - especially if you bring a male friend!
If you would like to come for the first time to receive your instructions...
