Did you catch our musical director Carl and singer Sanchi talking on Wandsworth Radio this everning?
If so and you’ve come to find out more, do take a look around and we hope we’ll see you at a rehearsal or concert soon.
If you missed them, fear not – you can listen again here.
A few weeks ago we joined Ashmead Care Home for a sing a long.
Whilst the carers tapped their feet to Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head and the residents reminisced over The Street Where You Live Carl was assisted in his job of keeping us in tune with the help of a few extra conductors and to ensure we were pitch perfect we found ourselves with some additional choir members.
The afternoon was graced by a particularly beautiful walking stick, in lieu of guitar, accompaniment to Clementine.
The day was topped off with a trip to the Telegraph where we sunned ourselves in the garden in the company of none other than … Idris Elba.

It was great to see – and hear – everyone last night. Back after a the Easter break, the choir were in fine fettle and strong voice.
The next few months should be pretty exciting with lots of concerts coming up – find out more here.
But don’t worry, it’s just next door to the hall we usually rehearse in.
It’ll be our first rehearsal in there for a while and we’re really looking forward to the acoustics!
And it’s our last rehearsal of the term. Following a two week break we’ll be back on 15th April.
See you there from 8pm.
Just a quick reminder – school’s out and we’re taking a week off.
Back on Wednesday 25th February at 8pm.
