Merry Christmas everyone! Know we miss you all and hope we can be with you soon. We wish you a safe festive period, and a 2021 that’s a little less turbulent!
This time last year we’d done our Christmas concert and raised lots of money for the Good Shepherd Ministry. We know this year is strange and has been tough for so many, but if you did have a spare pound or two, you can now donate via text to GSM. All the details can be found below, or you can head to their website.

Last night would have been our concert. While we were sad last night knowing we couldn’t be with you, we’re so proud of all of you staying home and saving lives. We’re so proud of our NHS. We’re so proud of the kindness we’re seeing.
Stay safe. Be kind. See you as soon as we can
15/03/2020
We’ve taken the tough decision to put our rehearsals on hold until after the Easter break. At the moment the plan is to start again on 20th April.
If you were looking to join us, know that we’ll be back as soon as we can be.
Stay safe everyone ❤️
