In the last few months we have welcomed three new members to the Choir.
Although our membership numbers are currently lower than average for the Choir, we remain a talented and enthusiastic group of male singers and we welcome anyone who would like to try male voice singing. All you need to do is come along to any of our practice sessions on a Monday at 7:30pm. For the address and a map please see our About page. We look forward to seeing you! In the last few months we have welcomed two young lads, Jaidyn and Samuel, who are very keen to sing with us.
They are coming on really well and in view of their age are well able, under the personal direction of our Musical Director David Sewell, to sing a mellow top tenor. Although our member numbers are currently lower than average for the Choir, we remain a talented and enthusiastic group of male singers and we welcome anyone who would like to try male voice choir singing.
