The Ladies Choir originally started as an
Adult Evening Class for men and women in 1970, but the few men that
were interested dropped out after a few weeks. Three years later the
classes ceased and the Ladies Choir carried on independently.
They were 12 in numbers at the start and met in the flat above the
Village Shop. There are now 25 members with ages ranging from early
20's to late 70's. They meet weekly under the excellent guidance of
their conductress and pianist Mrs Diane Normansell, assisted by Mrs
Susan Lewis.
They hold a Summer and Christmas Concert each year in the village
both of which are very well attended. They have also sung in
churches, over 60's clubs, retirement homes and nursing homes and
even Harry Ramsden's Fish Restaurant. Their repertoire ranges from
Sacred, Secular, Modern, Pop and songs from Films and Musicals.
Nobody needs an audition to become a member.
Just a love for singing.
