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!”
