Choir Members - Largs Gaelic Choir

Largs Gaelic Choir was formed in 1980 by Wilma Scoular with a core of members from her former church choir in Uplawmoor. She remained as conductor for 27 years!

Our current conductor Eilidh Johnson took over the role in 2017, whilst retaining her Gaelic tutor role. Eilidh has continued since then until the present time. Under her tutelage the choir has won several competition prizes. She is highly talented and writes many of her own songs!

The choir membership is drawn from all over North Ayrshire, Inverclyde and Paisley.

In previous years the choir membership had dropped a little and in 2005 the choir reverted from the Lovat & Tullibardine to the Margrat Duncan competition which the choir then won in 2007 and 2013.

In 2016 the choir were unable to recruit enough men to function as a mixed voices choir but continued as a ladies choir until the present time. Recently our membership has increased again which we are delighted about. We may even become a mixed choir again!
