The Deveron Singers

About Us

The Deveron Singers are a community choir who meet in Macduff Arts Centre on Duff Street in Macduff. We meet on a Monday night between 7pm and 9pm. Anyone who is interested in taking part in the choir is welcome to come and try it to see if you like it or not. We are a small group who love to sing together and would welcome anyone else who would like to give it a go!

What Is A Community Choir?

It's a group of people who get together to sing for the enjoyment of singing in a group - there are no voice tests and the songs we sing are varied and mostly 'a cappella' or unaccompanied.

So, if you like singing and would like to be part of a group who do too, then we might just be what you are looking for!

Concert

We are singing on Saturday 7th December at 3pm in Macduff Primary School along with some of our sister choir The Mearns Singers, Harps Accord and the wonderful Macduff Primary School Choir. Tickets are available on Eventbrite http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/winter-concert-tickets-1080425554919 or on the door on the day (cash only). We hope you can make it!
