We currently have an attending membership of around 42 members, including 10-12 male singers at any one time. Of course, we would love to have more singers, particularly younger folk, to keep the broad age range of the choir.
Our repertoire is varied and generally there is something to keep everyone happy; from hymns, to popular music, classical to musical theatre songs. At Christmas time the choir usually performs a selection of carols both old and modern.
The choir has given concerts in churches, shopping centres, garden centres, and performed at theatres such as the Whitley Bay Playhouse in North Tyneside. Some of our members have performed at the Sage in Gateshead. We were part of a regional competition some years ago in Newcastle upon Tyne, performing alongside professional and amateur groups.
The choir is occasionally joined by other local choirs, young and old, where we have the opportunity to sing in larger groups. We have also been treated to a lesson from a member of the famous Kings Singers.
Come and join us and find out for yourself!
