hi all. well it's nearly that time of year again…CHOIR TIME…
We are participating in a fundraising concert for the Clarisford project in the Cathedral. I hadn't realised that it was on so early in the month but it's Sept. 8th!!!! Practices will resume on Thursday August 30th in order to facilitate this.
Also, I'm sort of hoping to video one song at rehearsal for entry into a competition, so keep an eye on your messages and facebook for further developments. Cxx
