Carefree Chorus - in great voice - come and join us!


Lesley and Kerry from Fife Carers Centre have really been enjoying getting together to sing with the Carefree Chorus (our Choir’s new name!) who have been in good voice each Thursday between 11am and 1pm at the Pathhead Parish Church Hall in Kirkcaldy. Leading us in our efforts are Bob Barclay, Irene Campbell and Christine Webster who have all volunteered their time and expertise and have been absolutely brilliant!  Naturally our singing has also been pretty darned brilliant (to our ears anyway!) and the selection of songs has ranged from Abba to Lloyd Webber & Rice with pit stops in the great American songbook on the way.  It’s been fun and sociable with moments of hilarity and heartache along the way – music really does touch the full range of emotions!  The idea behind having a singing group/choir was to bring carers and former carers together giving them time away from the caring role with people who share similar experiences.  Carefree Chorus has a fluctuating number of people in attendance - anything from 12 to 30 depending on what’s going on in our lives at the time.  We invite any carers and former carers to join us whether you have a great voice or not – enthusiasm is what counts here!  Just come along any Thursday – you’ll be very welcome and in the immortal words of Karen Carpenter “Don’t worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear - just sing, sing a song!”
