    Veterans and singing together

    This episode is all about the benefits of singing together. We speak to members of the Military Wives Choirs, of which there are 72 in the UK and beyond, which is for all women from the armed forces community, including veterans. They talk about how they got involved, what they get out of it, their highlights and favourite songs to sing. Their choirs in Scotland are inviting new people to join, no previous experience or talent required – it’s about singing, sharing and supporting. We also interviewed Bryan Marshall who is the choirmaster for Westerton Male Voice choir which is predominantly older men, plus a leading light in Luminate’s Dementia Choirs network.
