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 (Nee Scott) and Carole Lucas (Nee Taylor) 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.

Once this web page begins to take shape anyone interested is invited to download it and save it to their own computers so that their memory is never lost.
