Helensburgh Oratorio Choir Winter Warmer Programme 2021 Our sixth and final guest in our ‘Winter Warmers’ on Tuesday 30th March was Soprano Lorna Anderson. With her close ties to Helensburgh and the Oratorio, it was like being treated to a cup of tea with your favourite friend as she started to recall memories from her earliest days and tell us about how she started on the road to stardom as a world-renowned Soprano. Born in Dunbeath, a beautiful village, located on the East Coast of Scotland in the County of Caithness, just 30 miles South of John O'Groats, Lorna recalled the records she used to listen to on her parents’ old gramophone/radio player. (We had one of those too!). It was mostly traditional Scottish songs and the wonderful Irish Tenor, John McCormack records. She played us a track ‘ I love a Lassie’ from The White Heather Club collection. That had all our toes tapping! It was her Father’s job as a policeman which brought her to Dumbarton round the age of 2. Alt
