Rudsambee is an Edinburgh-based a cappella choir. We perform a wide variety of music, whether it be folk songs from Iceland or the Balkans or choral music, from Tallis to Whitacre. We are not a church choir, but our repertoire does not exclude religious pieces.

June 2010: A few of our singers will be leaving Edinburgh in the next few months, so we would like to find replacements before they go - one each of soprano, alto, tenor and bass.

Wednesday 6th October 2010: We'll be holding an open rehearsal at Priestfield Church, starting at 7.30pm. If you think you might like to sing with us, please come along to find out how you enjoy it. Priestfield Church is on the Dalkeith Road, a little South of Pollock Halls and the Commonwealth Pool. Its web page has a picture, so you'll know what you're looking for.

A few more places do become available each year, so we always welcome enquiries from people who would like to sing with us. If there's a reasonable prospect of finding you a place in the next few months, then you might be asked to audition. When a vacancy does occur, we tend to fill it from the people who have made contact like that; but, failing that, this page will advertise for the voice(s) that we need.

Interested? Contact Ollie Singleton on 07738 161 931 or O.J.Singleton@sms.ed.ac.uk

We rehearse in Morningside on Wednesday evenings. We need the ability to sing in tune, but we don't demand trained voices. Reading music is a requirement, but singing accurately at first sight is not essential. We do expect a degree of commitment - attending rehearsals, and arriving on time. In return, we offer plenty of musical activity and satisfaction, and a good deal of sociable fun as well. See, for instance, the 2004 winter beach barbecue at Arisaig.
