SCOTLAND'S famous Farmers and Farmers' Wives choirs are going international!

But, don't worry it's only for a small sortie over the Border to Carlisle at the behest of Carlisle Rotary Club, who will host the popular songsters at Carlisle's Sands Centre, this Sunday, January 27.

Both choirs were formed in September, 2013, to take part in a concert to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Scottish Association of Young farmers – that was the start of a journey that has seen the choirs perform at events all over Scotland, including a regular appearance at the Royal Highland Show.

Being involved in the choirs has brought so many people together, which, has not only renewed old friendships but created many new ones. To date, the combined choir has raised more than £33,000 for a number of charities.

For this concert, the choirs will perform free of charge with all proceeds being split equally between four charities – Meningitis Now, Eden Valley Hospice, Motor Neurone Disease Association and MacMillan Cancer Support.

Tickets can be obtained from the Sands Box Office (01228 633766) at £15 each plus booking fee. Get booked up, it's always great entertainment!
