Money raised for charities : £94,000


Venue : 

ROYAL ALBERT HALL

On Saturday 18th October 2008 Cheddar Male Choir is pleased to be one of 17 Choirs participating in the 2008 Festival of Male Choirs.  This is the 21st Festival of its kind and further details will appear here later.

 

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.
