Mourne Community Choir

The Mourne Community Choir is part of the Creative Mourne project, organised by Alwynne Shannon (Outreach Officer), for the Mourne Mountains Landscape Partnership (MMLP). The MMLP – funded primarily by the Heritage Lottery Fund – runs a number of exciting projects celebrating the natural, built and cultural heritage of the Mournes.

The community choir brings people together from all over the Mourne area and its ethos is very much based on singing for enjoyment and celebrating the landscape in which we live.

We rehearse on Monday evenings from 7.30-9pm at Tory Bush Cottages in Bryansford. The choir is led by County Down musician and songwriter Brona McVittie. She researches and arranges lesser heard folk songs from Mourne and surrounding areas for the group.

Everyone is welcome to come and sing regardless of experience or background. We are a very friendly group and always make time for tea and cake. There are currently between 12 and 20 regular members.
