- Saint Andrew's Cathedral At Noon Recital - June 2026
-
Date Posted: Wed, 24 Jun 2026
We love performing at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Aberdeen. The very design of this beautiful space is a choir’s dream - vaulted ceilings and pointed arches helps music effortlessly lift and reverberate, enhancing overall depth and richness. Hearing the acoustic effect as we sing never gets old.
Our programme was a full one and included Caledonia as well as What I did for Love – a song from the musical A Chorus Line that we plan to perform at the annual LABBS* convention in October. We enjoyed every minute of it.
A big thank you to everyone who came out to support us. Thank you also to the St Andrew’s Cathedral team for hosting us.

- 2026 Aberdeen Kilt Walk
-
Date Posted: Sun, 7 Jun 2026
Albacappella was so proud to support Children's Hospice Across Scotland (CHAS) at this year’s Aberdeen Kiltwalk event. The turnout was incredible - over 5,000 Kiltwalkers raising well over £1 million for 500 Scottish charities. Stationed with CHAS, at Pit Stop 2 in the Drumoak Playing Fields, we did our best to entertain those taking time to rest and refuel with firm favourites like 500 Miles and You Can't Stop the Beat. We even had some of our Kiltwalking members take a beat and sing with us for a short while. We had a fantastic time and loved being able to support such a worthwhile cause.
For more information about CHAS and the amazing work they do, check out their website - www.chas.org.uk. For more information about the Kiltwalk event and some of the other fantastic charities that were supported - www.thekiltwalk.co.uk.
