Joining Enquiries

If you are interested in joining our friendly choir, please do get in touch by emailing our secretary. Although spaces for Soprano and Alto voices are quite limited at the moment, we are always on the look out for Tenors and Basses. We have a policy of no auditions, but we do maintain a good standard of singing.

WORDS FROM OUR MEMBERS
"I moved to Melbourne from Cambridge and knew nobody in the village. The choir has been a great way to make friends with people from a range of ages and backgrounds through a shared love of singing (and laughter!)"
Zoe BelshawAlto
“The opportunity to spend time with a diverse group of people all sharing a passion for music and song is both rewarding and, more importantly, great fun!”
Glenys CripwellSoprano
"I had been involved with choirs, brass bands and orchestras in my own youth and I was so glad to find such a convenient and fun opportunity to return to making music."
Jess LongAlto
"As an 81 year old, it is good to be in a group of people of mixed ages and I have felt accepted and welcome from the start. I have never met such a laid-back conductor, so the evenings are (almost) stress-free."
Alison GregoryAlto
"The music is varied and we are continually learning new pieces so nothing becomes stale. Practices and concerts are good fun and real friendships are made."
Bryan WolseyTenor
"My first experience of singing with a choir and definitely the first time with an audience. We have been very lucky to have Nick and Paul to lead us and Wednesday evenings always give me a lift."
Neil WrightBass
"I wanted to engage with other musical minds, and from it came a lovely sociable atmosphere."
Graham MasonTenor
"I have always enjoyed a sing yet never thought I was good enough and could not read music. I felt welcomed and looked after and enjoyed the music and the rehearsals."
Bernard ThorpeTenor
"They say singing is therapeutic I say it is joyful, great fun and I would miss it like crazy if I had to stop. I hope I can take after my sister who is still singing with a choir at 87!"
Catherine AlbertsSoprano
"I have found the discipline of practice (and more practice) and then performance both enjoyable and rewarding. And the ‘après chant’ down at the pub is very convivial!"
Mark SherwoodTenor
"I like the variety of music and audience participation."
