We are a group of people from Langholm and the surrounding area who come together once a week to enjoy music and singing. It's a great way to pass the dark winter nights with like-minded people. We are a friendly bunch with maybe one or 2 eccentrics among us but most of all we have fun for a couple of hours and the benefits singing brings to our wellbeing are very positive.
