Sunday. If you’re interested there is a boat trip for 1 hour starting at 14.30. Cost €12. Zone E5 on map you got from hotel (symbol for boat in the river!) Its up to people to find their own way.

Hi choir. Just a few comments and thoughts after our short rehearsal. Apologies for the rushed nature of the rehearsal but as the rehearsal started late I was asked to keep to 20 minutes. Our rehearsal proper will be tomorrow. I will ask Mary if she can arrange it for 5.30. You were v tired after the long standing stint on the Armed Man. The space was initially unnerving for ye to sing in and felt exposed I know. However if you commit to what ye know and get the heads up you will be great. As you can hear now - the mics are doing a fab job. You just couldn't hear that as there are no monitor speakers. The Danny Boy was exquisite btw - ye had settled at that stage. So sing up and sing out tomorrow, and watch C

Bonjour. The rehearsal today is at 17.30. Hotel people meet in the lobby at 16.30 for the metro. You will have to buy your own train tickets today. I suggest you have your main meal during the day. There will be a snack provided between the rehearsal and the concert. Don’t forget red flower/dickie bow. The French choir will do the first half of the concert. We can sit at the back to listen. (Exact details later) We do the second half and remain on stage as they join us for the Armed Man. Changing rooms are behind the stage. Ladies in Loge 1, gents in Loge 2. Enjoy your day!

Good morning everyone. Apologies. I have a black fleece with MF on the tag. My own has my name badge on the side and is with someone - hopefully MF. I had mine rolled up beside my bag and took bag etc to our car early on. Didnt double check. Sincere apologies. Does anyone have mine.. I'll return the other one anyway. Thanks A.

Well done everyone on a fantastic performance last night! If you are interested in doing the boat trip meet in the lobby of the hotel at 13.30. Michael will walk us to the boat (about 15 minutes away). We need to be there early to secure tickets. Cost is €12. Buy your own ticket. Trip is at 14.30. The hotel people owe Len €1.50 for the metro last night. Please group together so he is not overburdened with small change.

To all, I am off to the airport this morning to welcome my family who are flying into Toulouse for a few days. We will be up the road a bit as we take in the sights etc. I may get to join ye for drinks over the next few days but just in case I don't i wanted to say - I am very proud of all of you. I know we had a musically rocky start late Friday evening. Instead of letting that get you down, you put in extra personal rehearsal time - brushing up on any potential problem moments. You arrived to rehearsal on Saturday and seriously stepped up the the plate and lastly, you stole the show on the night. I was very firm and honest with you on Friday night (maybe too much so?) And I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings. If I did I sincerely apologise. I hope you Read more

Another successful trip to be assigned to the Ench3 archives made possible by the singing,fun and camaraderie of all the Group, a director who believed in us,an accompanist befitting of a Steinway not to mention a Mama Mary who led no one astray while moving from one place to another. Total praise to our exceptional Hosts who provided us with a faboulous concert with over 300 in attendance and treated us to a banquet fit for a King. As our trip is now sadly a wonderful memory we must shut down this WhatsApp group on Wednesday 6th November which will allow you all some time to transfer any photos to your personal whatsapp. A GREAT TRIP!!! xx Maria and Thank you all for you kind words

For Mary K. Focail Scoir: Mary, your path finding skills know no bounds. You have surpassed yourself again! This time-shepherding people through passport checks, airports, coaches, boats, canals, rivers, roads, restaurants, zebra crossings, bridges, parish halls, dressing rooms, concert steps and dark carparks. On mature reflection, I think the only frontier left open to you now is Outer Space. Book me in!
