We are a long established choral society based in Paisley and in good commuting distance from Glasgow. Our current membership is around 65.
The choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings from January to mid March, with a small number of additional Friday rehearsals near to the concert. We perform one concert a year in March. We perform from the major choral repertoire with an orchestra.

“I love singing in the choir and being part of the big sound of the concert with the orchestra. You are totally absorbed singing the music during the rehearsals, making all the stresses and strains of life disappear…leaving you relaxed and happy.“
– Dorothy, Soprano
“I have always sung, however this choir is so uplifting. Singing in all four parts and hearing them all harmoniously together just makes an incredible sound.”
– David, Bass
“Having not sung for four years due to lockdown and illness, it’s been wonderful to come along to Coats and regain my confidence and the feel-good experience of making exciting music with such a great group of singers!“

“Joining the choir and being a member is a welcome haven from my very busy job. I’m able to get absorbed in the music and forget all the stresses of the day. It’s challenging, fun and a lifeline for me.”
– Heather, Soprano
“For the past few years, Coats Choral has given me the opportunity to sing some of my favourite choral classics. I really enjoy the friendliness and enthusiasm of my fellow choir members. Rehearsals are fun and the end of season concert is brilliant.”
