Choir in a pub

Here is the latest photo from Pubcór. Do you recognise anyone in it......first on the left!

I love being part of music whether it's listening, singing or dancing. There is only one tiny problem, while I can dance I can't sing very well. That's the reason why I've mimed my way through many's a musical including the rehearsals. But I just love the sound of people singing in harmonies. I miss that, but I would not have the confidence to join a choir as I feel that my croaking would put off the people around me.

Enter...Pubcór, which translates as "Choir in a pub"!  Sounds good already.

It was set up by an old friend of mine Bobby Harpur and Sabrina  O Reilly, the concept is quite simple but genius. If you're interested in singing ( and according to them everyone can sing.....this was before they met me!) , you get together with a group of like minded people in a pub. I went to St Mary's GAA club in Leixlip, an old haunt of mine. In a 90 minute slot the group will have learned and performed a classic in three part harmony. It is done in a totally relaxed and fun atmosphere, hey, there's even a beer break in the middle of it. Also it isn't as big a commitment as joining a choir. Each evening is self contained, there is one complete song learned per session, so if you can't go on one evening, you can go to the next and you haven't missed out. We did  "Nothing's going to stop us now."
