SOMETHING totally different is The Farmers & Farmers Wives Choir. Both choirs were formed in September 2013 to take part in a concert to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Scottish Association of Young Farmers. More than 160 members formed the choirs which took to the stage in the Hydro Arena, Glasgow. It was thought that this would be a one-off event. In fact, this was the start of a journey that has seen the choirs perform at events all over Scotland, including a regular appearance at the Royal Highland Show.

The choirs are on stage at The Sands Centre, Carlisle, on Sunday (January 27, 7.30pm).
