FESTIVAL ROUND UP
Pop Up Pub Choir
The Pop-Up Pub Choir session that rounded off the Armadale Arts Festival was great fun and the end result sounded amazing! It was a choir experience like no other – imagine a crowd of strangers, singing karaoke, with a live band and conductor. The final performance was filmed and can be viewed here.
