It is a large mixed voice choir based in Stirling, Scotland, which has performed a variety of mainstream choral works as well as original compositions by members of the choir. It always welcomes new members and no audition is required to join.

The Choir were fortunate to have the opportunity to join a mass choir from across Scotland and perform Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man on 11 September 2005 at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall with the BBC Scottish Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by Karl Jenkins.
