*Special Guest Post by Anna Vermehren
Huntly has a new choir. More than 70 people have signed up to participate in the weekly sessions on Monday nights at 7.30pm in the Stewarts Hall. The two very young and motivated directors Hugh Johnstone and Hannah McGinlay inspire folk from all around Huntly and the good thing is that you don’t need to be brilliant at singing: Do what you can and you’re in.
The people attending are from all parts of the spectrum, young and old, from near and far. Each session is not only a massage for the soul it is also a private singing lesson in parts. I’m amazed by the detail and the rigour the two singing directors manage to embrace in each session. It even sounds good. Huntly has been given a gift. Thank you.
