A chance to be happy with Rock Choir
ROCK Choir, the contemporary singing group that has gathered more than 16,000 members in 300 communities across the UK, is hosting a workshop in Glasgow for budding singing stars. A professional teacher will be on hand at Adelaides in Bath Street on August 9 to teach Pharrell Williams's hit Happy to anyone interested in learning to sing. No previous singing experience or music-reading ability is necessary and there are no auditions. Children under 14 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Dilemma for jazz fans solved
GOOD news for jazz fans torn between attending Glasgow Jazz Festival and seeing the exceptional French double bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons, who brings his Revoir Paris musical memoir to Crail Community Hall as part of the East Neuk Festival in Fife the same weekend.
Garcia-Fons will be in Glasgow on October 8, when he appears with his band at the Old Fruitmarket playing his score for Lotte Reiniger's classic silent film The Adventures of Prince Achmed. The bassist, whose ability has seen him dubbed "the Paganini of the double bass", has developed a style of music that encompasses jazz, flamenco and rhythms from all around the Mediterranean.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
