This is a contact message to all Ladies who
were members of the Ulster Girls Choir at any time
during it's long and glorious history. Marion Hanna ( née
Scott), Carole Lucas ( née Taylor) and Barbara Millen ( née
Scott ) are beginning a quest to find material to include
for publication on this preliminary web Site. If you have
any photographs that you could lend for scanning into the
computer and just as important the names of the Ladies and
Girls. All such items will be treated with the utmost care
and returned to the owner within a matter of days.
Interesting stories about the members would help to paint a
picture of this choir. It must be stated that during the
many years of this choirs existence they brought a wide
variety of music to many thousands of people. They were
rated as the "finest choir of the century" by those who
associated in music circles |

A
long-standing family friend used to belong to a choir
called the Westminster Choral Society. This would be a
long time ago, as she left the UK to live in Canada in
the 40’s. Reminiscing as one does, she asked in a recent
letter if the choir is still around and what has become
of them. I couldn’t find them on your choir pages, and
wondered if they have disbanded, merged or taken on a
new name. Can you throw any light on it?

I was a member of the Belfast Girls'
Choir in the late 1940's and early 1950's before emigrating
to Canada. (This is not the Methodist College Belfast Girls'
Choir). I would really appreciate hearing from other former
members. [posted 20

| I was at a meeting of the
'Aberdeen and Region Oral Heritage Association', they were
collecting digital recordings of the workers experiences
from Hall Russell shipyard in Aberdeen, they played some
music from the Hall Russell Male Choir. Someone must have
come across them in the 1920's and 1930's I was wondering if
you could ask your members if anyone has any memories or
anything.

| On clearing out
the house of a close relative we came across a photograph of
my Great Grandfather it was a group photo taken at "Carley
Street Adults Prize Choir 1904" my great grandfathers name
was F Dodge. I have spent some time trying to find the Choir
but to no avail, we believe that it could have been in the
Leicestershire area but not entirely sure, I am hoping that
you may have heard of the Choir and may be able to give me
some guidance

Trying to trace the Choral
Society that my Great Grandmother sang with. Her name
Mona Patricia Roberts (bn 1875) (also known as Martha
Sarah). As we understand it she me her future husband
Joseph Wellard Bartusek when he went backstage after a
concert she had participated in at the Queens Hall,
Londont. The concert was in aid of the war effort (WW1).
Joseph's first wife had died in 1916. Joseph and Mona
were married in Jan 1919 in Islington, London. We know
that Mona had singing lessons in London and was a member
of a choral society (1917/1918) but have no other
details.
