Here are some of our members' comments about our choir’s structure and performances.
‘I was welcomed from the moment I joined 'have a go' and have been so well looked after since then by everyone, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself, loved all the songs and the challenges they bring, and have come away every week feeling quite exhilarated.’
‘I just wanted to say thank you for the absolute joy joining the choir has brought to me. This choir is special and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.’
‘It’s an uplifting and life affirming experience and is so good for everyone’s mental health.’
Concerts
We perform regularly and often support local groups and charities such as ‘Open Gardens’, our nominated charities, churches and volunteer groups. Recently we have supported a special needs school, local Brownies, ‘Vision’ and ‘FosteringPeople’ in workshops, with the students and members singing alongside our choir members.
We also sing in pubs, especially around Christmas and New Year and throughout the year we link up with other choirs and musical directors from both near and far.
We have a wide and varied repertoire (see the document below) and members work hard to present concert material to a high standard.
Members' feedback on the recent concerts included these comments:
‘As a ‘newbie’ I wanted to say how proud I was to be part of such a fabulous event yesterday - my guests were very impressed. I know that these sorts of events take a lot of work and everyone I spoke to was appreciative of how much work had gone into making it such a success.’
‘We are truly so lucky to be members of such a vibrant group who enjoy being together whether it be to perform for the enjoyment of others or to socialise together and have fun!’
‘It was my first concert, I enjoyed myself. Loved performing and it was great to see the other choirs.’
