| It is great to hear how former members are getting on and
in particular what they are doing musically (we do know that GCC isn't the
only choir in the universe!) so here is some information which has been
passed our way. If you used to sing with the choir then we would love
to hear where you are and what you are doing now and we promise only to
put up information with your permission. |

Katie Bamber
When Katie joined the she was one of three sopranos with very similar
names and we were suspicious that our music director was auditioning on
name as well as voice so that no one would notice if he gets a name wrong.

Jennie Gardner
Jennie left at the end of the 2003-4 season after six years in the choir
to move to the far East (Edinburgh) where inexplicably she has remained.
We still hope she will see the light and come back!
Jennie’s choral career began when she joined the choir of St Saviour’s
church, Bridge of Allan at the age of eleven. After a break for A levels,
University and career, Jennie rediscovered singing in her mid twenties
and joined the Chamber Choir soon after. Jennie is an arts marketer by
profession and is a keen hill-walker amongst other things.

Lynsey Joss
Lynsey studied music at the RSAMD and sang with GCC until work commitments
took her elsewhere. A highlight of her time with the choir was singing
in the soprano duet "De torrente in via bibet" in Handel's Dixit
Dominus (at least it was a highlight for the rest of us - we assume it
was for Lynsey too!)

Kat MacNeill
Kat wasn't in the choir for long before taking on the Administrator responsibility.
Unfortunately for us she has moved on to try her hand (and voice) at other
musical styles. We still hope to see her at concerts though!

Kristina (Tina) Roe
[No photo - yet!]
Tina was the first former member to email us:
"I was a member (Soprano) of the Chamber Choir between 1997-2000
whilst I was at Glasgow University. Since then I have sung with the Choir
of Jesus College Cambridge and currently I am in the Lichfield Cathedral
Chamber Choir, The Rigware Cantamus and every summer with Musica Deo Sacra
at Tewkesbury Abbey."

Gordon Smith
Gordon was the co-founder of the choir and was administrator for 10 of
the 11 years he sang with us before taking some time out. He was also
the designer of many of our (we think) excellent posters down the years.
He isn't always as happy looking as this ;-)

Nicky Suckle
One of Nicky's other hobbies is scuba diving but, as far as we know,
she doesn't combine it with singing (but we could be wrong!)
|
|
Clyde "High Flyer" Wallbanks
Clyde has swapped singing in GCC for singing to his daughters in the
bath to let Mum get to choir practise. What a 90s man (too bad it is not
the 90s any more!)
|
|
David Williams
When David took over as Administrator of the choir the webteam was very
concerned because we had been asking him for a biography for this page
since around the time the Romans left Britain (they've gone?). We warned
him that we would write something ourselves, possibly after a glass of
wine or two but he didn't listen hence this spiel. A job following his
PhD has unfortunately taken him away from Glasgow.
