Edinburgh Sacred Harp Singing

Edinburgh, Scotland

Saturday, October 16, 2021

First official singing in Scotland since the covid outbreak! Ten singers gathered from near and far. We sang mostly from The Sacred Harp, since local singers are familiar with this book.

The class was called to order at 12:00 p.m. by Jan Geerts leading 40. A prayer was offered by Joan Gordon. Leaders: Viv Imrie-O’Duffy 452; Calum Parker 49t; Jan Geerts 28b; Calum Woods 34t; Joan Gordon 47t; Anne Altringham 89; Deedee Cuddihy 569b; Alex Fradera 34b; Viv Imrie-O’Duffy 87; Calum Parker 313b; Jan Geerts 29b; Calum Woods 565.
