Most of the original singers are still with the
choir which has now increased in size to nearly 70 voices from the
North Somerset area. Our youngest member is 39, and our oldest is 86
and both sing in the Baritone section. We have 7 Octogenarians. As it gained members the choir had to move
to other venues for rehearsals. New members are most welcome, as are
supporters and visitors to the area of Cheddar. We rehearse most
Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm at Draycott Memorial Hall.
Our accompanist Elaine
Smith has recently joined us following her move to the area. She has
very quickly gelled with the Musical Team and choristers alike. She
follows in the footsteps of her namesake Janine Smith who
has moved to the Isle of Wight.
Whilst we always aim to entertain, one of our
prime motives is to raise funds for charities and good causes. To
date we have helped to raise in excess of £94,000.
Recently the Choir has recorded our fourth CD called 'TAKE ME HOME' , which features 19 tracks.
In October 2008 we are participating in the London Welsh Male Voice Choir 21st Festival of Male Choirs which will also be recorded.
