Accompanists - Margaret Harrison and Sue Quarmby

In October 2004, our long standing Musical Director, Mike Petty handed in his baton and resumed his place in the bass section of the choir. As a mark of our appreciation he was appointed a life member.
We were fortunate enough to acquire the services of Anthony Milledge, a very experienced Musical Director with a thorough knowledge of choral singing at the highest level.
Our choir performs around 16 concerts a year for charities, church groups and other fund raisers.  We are frequently hired to sing at weddings and funerals.
Our annual concert raises money for our own funds which enables us to buy new music, uniforms etc.  Many local businesses sponsor us and we also enjoy support from our local councillors (of all shades).

REHEARSALS

We rehearse at 7.30 pm on Monday evenings in the Holy Family Church Hall in Newbarns village, Barrow in Furness.  The choir includes members of all denominations and politics, but we have at least one thing in common and that is a love of singing.  Anyone who shares this love is invited to come along to a rehearsal, or contact any member of the choir.  You do not need an exceptional voice but just the ability to sing in tune and blend with the choir.
It is not necessary to be able to read music.  Help will be on hand if you require it in order to learn your line of music and enjoy this most rewarding pastime.
