’S e tachartas mìosail a tha seo san Òban, is e a’ toirt còmhla diofar dhaoine on choimhearsnachd aig a bheil ùidh ann a bhith a’ seinn còmhla. Tha mi fhìn a’ dèanamh nan rèiteachaidhean-ciùil agus a’ stiùireadh nan seiseanan, le molaidhean o na buill fhèin a thaobh nan òran.
Ionnsachaidh sinn òran ùr a h-uile mìos, is mar sin faodaidh daoine tighinn is a’ falbh, a-rèir nan uallaichean eile a tha orra. Chan eil amas ann ach a bhith a’ gabhail spòrs air an oidhche fhèin, a’ gabhail tlachd on a bhith a’ seinn agus a bhith còmhla.
Tha tòrr rannsachadh ann a dhearbhas cho math ‘s a tha e dhuinn a bhith a’ seinn còmhla. Tha am pròiseact seo a’ toirt cothrom do dhaoine on choimhearsnachd a bhith a’ cur eòlas air càch a’ chèile, ceanglaichean a dhèanamh agus tlachd a ghabhail o ceòl is càirdeas is gàire.
Ri linn covid-19, chan eil am pròiseact a’ ruith an-ceartair, ach thèid a chur air bhog a-rithist cho luath is a bhios e ceadaichte a thaobh nan riaghailtean.

This is a monthly event in Oban, which brings together different people from the community who enjoy singing . I do the arrangements and lead the sessions, with the members suggesting which songs we cover each time.
We learn a new song every month, so folk can come and go as their other responsibilities allow. There is no aim other than to have fun on the night, to enjoy singing and each other’s company.
There is a lot of research showing how good it is for us to sing together. This project gives people in the community the opportunity to get to know each other, to make connections and to find pleasure in music and friendship and laughter.
Due to covid-19, the project is not running at the moment, but it will be relaunched as soon as regulations allow.
