Strangford and Castle Ward – 8 December 2013

A bunch of jolly carollers got into the spirit of things with Santa hats, tinsel, and even reindeer antlers. In the quiet little town of Strangford, the strains of Away in a Manger drifted quietly across the lough as seagulls wafted in time to the music … and then we had a great lunch in […]

The wind was gusting, the leaves were flying, and rain hovered in the wings, but nothing could dampen the spirits of Antrim Community Choir as they performed at Antrim Castle on the afternoon of Sunday 27th October 2013, the start of their Delusions of Grandeur Tour. Northern Ireland has some wonderful castles. No-one in Antrim Community Choir  […]

Fact one: NI has some beautiful castles in stunning locations.Fact two: No one in the Antrim Community Choir lives in a castle.Fact three: Wouldn’t it be fun to pretend that we do, just for the afternoon? And so, the idea of Delusions of Grandeur was born. It rose from the wish to enjoy our countryside, to sing in […]
