Ferry Blend is a local community choir based in South Queensferry. We
sing for enjoyment, for the challenge of learning new skills, and to
share a real variety of good music with our audiences. We sing
concerts locally, go carol singing, visit pensioners’ clubs, and
participate in wider events such as Celtic Connections workshops and
the Fife Festival of Music.
The choir has been running in its current form since 2012, when two
existing local choirs, the Ferry Singers and Dalmeny Blend, were
amalgamated. We now have about 50 members, and sing music in four-part
harmony.
We have an inclusive ethos, and our members have a wide range of
musical experience and ages.
We try to incorporate as many genres as we can, so the program
typically includes light popular music, songs from the shows, folk or
world music, spirituals and gospel songs. We have an accompanist, but
also sing a range of a capella material.
There is no audition for entry into the choir. There is no formal
requirement to read music, as long as you are willing to use the
provided audio files to learn your part.
