Chris Ingram has sent this poster announcing the first meeting.
David Bruce (founding Musical Director), Tom Cunningham (President 1967-68) and Peter Freshwater (Vice-President 1963-64) organised a reunion of EU Glee Club members which was held in April 2012: more details on the Reunion 2012 page. Local reunions were held in 2013 and 2014 - see photos. A further reunion was held during the alumni weekend Friday 5th - Sunday 7th June 2015; details and photos on the Reunion 2015 page.

This one is from our trip to the Netherlands in 1966 and shows us in Leiden. I think it was the Sunday morning on our way to the station to take the train to The Hague where we sang at the morning service in the Anglican Church.
Take a moment to listen to the recordings which now include full versions of all pieces which we have. If you have other Glee Club recordings and would like them uploaded to the website, please let us know.
Other highlights: Memories of Edinburgh University Glee Club - the Early Sixties by Peter Freshwater. Press cuttings including some from the Holland trip, reminiscences added by members to the Blog.
We discovered archives in the university library: these enabled John McCulloch to compile a list of Performances from the Minute Book and Peter Freshwater to supply a list of Office Bearers. We also have a list of our Repertoire supplied by Alistair Des Moulins
If you would like more information, please email. Please also email any photos you may have to add to our collection.
