What an experience! We still can't quite believe that happened!

A huge thank you to everyone we worked with in the lead-up to the amazing Opening Ceremony of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. It was such a joy to sing with Nina Nesbittt, and to Dom Jones for the beautiful arrangement.

And a massive thank you to everyone backstage who looked after us so well. We had such an amazing time and are so grateful to have been part of such an unforgettable event! ❤️

What a fantastic Saturday we had! 🎶✨

It was such a pleasure to welcome Dolinki to Glasgow for our WestFest concert in the University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel. Inspirational singing, beautiful costumes, and wonderful dancing!

We especially loved performing our joint pieces together (particularly the choreography! 😊).

Thank you, Dolinki, for making it such a memorable occasion. Let’s do it again soon! ❤️

Thank you to our amazing audience for their excellent singing also! And for supporting WaterAid UK and the RNLI.

The perfect rehearsal kit....

Just add singing 🙂

Really looking forward to our next gig! Lots of lovely music celebrating the rivers, lochs and seas around us, including folk songs from all over, some medieval Portugese cantigas, arrangements by our very own Daisy Abbott and of course Katy Lavinia Cooper, two gorgeous Karine Polwart songs, including The Wellspring, written for the rededication of St Mungo's Well at Glasgow Cathedral last year, and more of Chris Hutchings Riversong (with words by the wonderful Robert MacFarlane). AND as if that wasn't enough, we're joined by very special guests Dolinki, who will be treating us to some amazing Polish folk singing.

Be there or be...well...somewhere much less brilliant 🙂

What a brilliant weekend we had in Moffat!

We loved being back at the Well Road Centre (great place for a group to stay - highly recommended!), really helpful vocal health workshop with Laura McFall, and a lovely welcome from the folk of Upper Annandale Parish Church Moffat for our concert there. Songs were sung, cheese was eaten, good company was enjoyed!!

If you missed the concert, we'll be performing again at the Chapel at University of Glasgow on Saturday 13th June, joined by Dolinki - a wonderful group of women specialising in Polish singing - as part of WestFest. 7.30pm, no need to book - entry by donation!

Can't wait to head to Upper Annandale Parish Church Moffat next weekend! We had such a lovely time when we were last there - wall to wall sunshine and even a visitation from the northern lights. We have high expectations !!

This time we're performing music celebrating the wonderful waterways around us, from fens and marshes to wells, rivers, lochs and seas. The programme features folk songs from around the world, medieval cantigas, Shaker hymns and a couple of arrangements of songs by the amazing Karine Polwart, including The Wellspring, written for the recent rededication of St Mungo's Well at Glasgow Cathedral.

Saturday 9 May, 7.30pm
Upper Annandale Parish Church
Entry by donation
Refreshments available after the concert!

And if you can't make it to Moffat, we'll be performing the same programme again in Glasgow as part of WestFest on Saturday 13 June at 7.30pm in the University of Glasgow Chapel, along with special guests Dolinka, a small female ensemble specialising in Polish folk singing 🙂🎶
