House Singing Competition 2024

House Singing is a special event in the Fettes calendar, held in our Chapel, and one that is guaranteed to bring a smile with its plentiful and enthusiastic singing. 

Each House delivers a performance of a hymn (selected at random 10 days ago) from memory, and then a song of their own choosing. From Adele to Coldplay and Michael Jackson to Billy Joel – we had it all. Arniston - last year’s overall winner - with their beautiful delivery of ‘Now thank we all our God’, full of line, understanding of the text and uniformity of tone and timbre won ‘Best Hymn’. Dalmeny won ‘Best overall’ with a spectacular performance of Bruno Mars’ Grenade. This was fully of variety, texture, text and fine and balanced ensemble singing.

Our grateful thanks goes to Mr. Frikki Walker, Director of Music at St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow, who adjudicated this close contest, and was seriously impressed by the energy and quality of so much of the singing.
