About Us

New Paragraph

Harmonising since 2016!

 
We are an award winning choir, formed in 2016, under the direction of the "boss", Jean Chambers. Our members come from all walks of life and share a common purpose. They all love to sing accompanied by Mary "magic fingers" Potter. We pride ourselves in tackling a diverse programme ...... anything from Handel to Hammerstein!

Our Mission...

As an award winning choir, our annual concerts raise much needed funds that are greatly appreciated by local charities.

"I wanted to thank-you and the wonderful choir  for a great evening at the Druitt Hall for the Rotary CLAC event. Your choir was magnificent, very entertaining and so helpful in our fundraising.  This will help us to provide the events our members enjoy" Jim Oates, Parkinson's UK

For 2024 we will be supporting "CRUMBS" whose details can be found below:

Crumbs changes the lives of adults aged 18-70 with disabilities, mental health conditions, stabilised addictions or acquired brain injuries.  We work to create opportunities, change perceptions, and promote the inclusion and equal treatment of those who are disadvantaged because of who they are, where they are from, or what challenges they face.  Through our training programmes we educate and support adults to develop professional skills for working in the Hospitality industry, and the personal skills to live more independently.  Over 90% of our trainees move into employment in the Hospitality industry at the end of their training programmes and all gain the confidence and self-esteem to be more independent.
