Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Scotland. It often develops without symptoms. There is no national screening programme. The first step is a conversation with a GP.

This , Scotland’s prostate cancer and disease charity, Prostate Scotland is encouraging to take five minutes to learn and share three facts with others:

👉It’s the most common cancer in men
👉It can develop without symptoms
👉From age 50, men can speak to their GP about a PSA test, and higher risk men, including men with a family history (dad, brother, uncle) and Black men from age 45

Awareness spreads through conversation. 🩵Conversations can lead to earlier diagnosis. And earlier diagnosis can save lives.

What a fantastic retreat weekend! 🎶

Huge thanks to our amazing coaches Tim Briggs and Alan Hughes, and of course our brilliant director Rosalind, for an inspiring and challenging few days. We worked hard on “respecting the timbre”, “vowel alignment”, avoiding the traps that disrupt our sound, and bringing energised consonants to our singing. We’ve made some exciting changes to our convention songs and we can already feel the difference — we’re excited about where this will take us! 🎵

And the afterglow didn’t disappoint either — quartets, small groups, ringing chords and lots of laughs! 🎤✨

A brilliant weekend of singing, learning and barbershop. Now it’s back to rehearsal and put it all into practice

It’s retreat weekend 🎶🎶

Bags are (nearly) packed, voices are warmed up, and excitement levels are rising 😄

Tomorrow we head to Lundin Links for our annual retreat— a day and a half of singing, coaching, and a lot of fun 🎶 Not to mention the afterglow🎶🍻

Can’t wait to get working on our convention songs with the brilliant Tim Briggs and Alan Hughes 🙌

“It was my partner who persuaded me to go to the doctor and I’m so glad they did.”

Concerned about someone who has potential symptoms of prostate cancer? Your partner, dad, grandad, brother or friend? 🩵

Then the best thing to do is encourage them to see their GP.
