In this Glasgow Youth Choir 50th Anniversary year, we are gathering together a database of
former members of the choir. If you are, or know, someone who was, a former member of the choir, please give your contact details to Jennifer at glasgowyouthchoir@yahoo.co.uk as we hope to keep in touch more often, with details of concerts and events which you may wish to be involved in.

If anyone has any interesting stories about their time in the choir, and would like it to appear on this page please send it to glasgowyouthchoir@yahoo.co.uk f.a.o. the Webmaster.
