We ended our year in fine style last night, singing a joint summer proms with guests Glória, Dublin's Gay & Lesbian Choir. They were a joy to sing with, we loved being part of the audience when they sang their selection, and we loved them as part of our very appreciate audience for our section. This experience of sharing music and song is good for us all, and hopefully we will revisit the experience with Glória DLGC again!!
