Cardonald Ladies' Choir
- Choir Logo
The choir had its beginnings as an ensemble, which was formed to encourage those leaving the Junior Choir to continue singing. In order to extend the range of performance, it was decided to augment the numbers by inviting their mothers to join! Thus the Cardonald Ladies' Choir was formed in 1988.
Membership is now no longer just mothers and daughters or from the Cardonald area but is widespread with many members travelling from Giffnock, Paisley, Thornliebank, Cathcart and even Largs, Kilwinning and Ayr.
