Cairn Chorus, based in Moniaive, under the direction of Kate Howard, are known for their quirky and imaginative programme of often very challenging material.  

The Christmas Concerts this year will be no exception and are based on the poems of Hugh McMillan, so will be guaranteed to include the occasional sheep song, or two, or three.  

His poems are often about Dumfries and Galloway's history and landscape.  His selected poems 'Not Actually Being in Dumfries' was published by Luath Press in 2017.   His latest,  'The Conversation of Sheep', is based on the pamphlet  'Sheeppenned' which won the Callum Macdonald Prize in the same year. 

Hugh will be present to read some of his poems along with choir members.

This evening all
the greens have welled
into the sky like lilies.
The sheep are
stepping-stones to heaven…
