Voices of Argyll Announce Summer Tour Across Scotland’s Most Breathtaking Coastal Venues
Castles, beaches, ferries—and now a summer tour across some of Argyll’s most striking coastal communities. Voices of Argyll are back on the road this June, bringing their bold, expressive sound to churches and island venues where landscape and music meet.
Directed by Alison McNeill, and joined by pianist Anna Mavromatidi and percussionist Fiona McNeill, the all-female chamber choir has built a reputation for doing things differently. Since forming in 2021, they have taken high-quality choral music far beyond traditional concert halls, performing everywhere from Inveraray Castle, Mount Stuart House to outdoor pop-up stages outside Copenhagen Town Hall and Rothesay Castle, and collaborating with artists across disciplines including Alba Ballet, Indian Dancers and Cowal Open Studios.
Their rise has been swift. They have supported folk favourite Eddi Reader, appeared at the Scottish Parliament and Glasgow Mela Festival, and delivered ambitious projects such as their multi-arts “Making Waves” tour with Spoken Word Artist Katharine Macfarlane and sound designer Fiona McNeill. Add to that competition success in the Derry International Choir Festival, sold-out performances with folk pop band Beluga Lagoon, and an international tour to Denmark, and it’s clear this is a choir on the move.
Now, they turn their focus back home.
The tour opens on 3rd June, 7pm at Kirn and Sandbank Parish Church in Dunoon, where the repertoire will include Karl Jenkins Adiemus, new arrangements of Gospel Songs and some surprises. On 5th June, 7pm, they head to Tarbert Church on Campbeltown Road, bringing music to the heart of the harbour village. The journey continues on 6th June at Gigha Church as part of the Sound of Gigha Festival—an island setting known for its white sands and turquoise waters—before finishing on 7th June at 11am with a Songs of Praise celebration at A’Chleit Church. Tickets for Dunoon and Tarbert are available from www.voicesofargyll.com.
Set in coastal villages and island communities, these performances bring live music directly to local audiences in some of Scotland’s most remarkable settings. Support live music in your area by getting your tickets early. From mainland shores to island communities, Voices of Argyll continue to prove that high-quality choral performance belongs everywhere.
