Gibraltar Military Wives Choir

Gibraltar’s Military Wives Choir was started in November 2019 by a member of another choir who missed the singing, support and camaraderie of choir while in Gibraltar, and felt the community would benefit from it. Gibraltar MWC is part of the Military Wives Choirs, a registered charity and network of 75 choirs in British military bases across the UK and overseas, with over 2,200 members. There is a big focus on their ethos of ‘Sing, Share, Support’. The choir’s primary focus is of course to sing together but we also hope to be a source of support. Being a military wife can be incredibly lonely and difficult; the network provides a place for support and friendship as soon as any woman arrives at a new draft location. Keep Reading

Our borrowed tools for communication are words

These are not my words, they don’t belong to me you see. They have been borrowed from a fountain source called language and they have all been used before by writers, poets, kings and vagabonds. I just string them together and write them down so that I can tell you a story in words that you can understand. If I weave them carefully and rhyme them they become poetry and the images they may conjure up should respond to a pleasing tempo in verse known as a poem’s meter. Keep Reading

Sunsets and Full Moons

I confess that the above heading attracted my curiosity more because of its imagery than because it’s an album title by one of the top touring bands of the last decade, The Script. We were fortunate to see them here at the GMF a few years back and they left a sellout Victoria Stadium wanting more. Today they still have the magic and the new songs to draw sellout crowds into their concerts all over the world. Keep Reading
