Stressed out, but the gym’s too much like hard work? Try singing. An hour of exercising the vocal cords can do wonders. Even if you think you can‘t sing, haven‘t ever sung anywhere other than the bathroom, or have happy memories of singing as a child and now want to get going again, then Come and Sing is for you. For a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon you can not only find your own voice but will be helped in finding a choir of others that you can join in with on a regular basis. (Carol Main)

I Come and Sing is at the Concert Hall, University of Glasgow. Sat 6 Sep.
