Seal Lullaby is fast becoming a choir favourite, with it’s tender words, haunting melody, and that final quarter when Dominic plays notes like little sprays of sea foam as the choir voices the billows of the slow swinging sea.

It was a wonderful spring and summer season with the choir, enjoying venues such as the Bath Bandstand, the joyful Joint Concert in Andover, and of course our annual summer concert. Thoughts are now turning towards the autumn repertoire, and the run-up to our annual concert in December. However before Christmas Rehe

This season, we are pleased to say that we have extra help as several new members have joined the choir. It's great to see the family growi
