Normally, the choir meets on Monday nights at Gorman House, but obviously can't in lockdown.
As a lockdown activity, Moya and John asked the members of the choir to send in videos of themselves, doing whatever they were doing in their restricted lives.
John wrote a song based around their activities, Moya sang it on a home recording, another member edited the videos to the song and the result is on YouTube.
The song's called What Does a Choir Do? It features everything from gardening to Scrabble to playing the ukulele. It's positive and uplifting.
As Molly would say, do yourself a favour and check it out.
