From ‘The Libretto’ – November 2010 The choir also lost a past member in Haydon Davies. Haydon was the choirs first P.R.O. and I have been informed he did a remarkable job in getting the choir known across the country and on T.V. and Radio. He was well liked and respected by choristers past and…

From ‘The Libretto’ – November 2010 Well the cruise is over and it was a great success for the choir regarding the concerts. We achieved the same response as we did 2 years ago on the Oriana with both theatre concerts resulting in standing ovations. It was a shame that we were not treated…

From ‘The Libretto’ – September 2010 I for one would like to thank the Choir Committee on the decision to supply the new Blazers & Greys for the choir. When we go on stage in our number ones we look fantastic, as we are dressed the same, unfortunately the same can not be said about…

From ‘The Libretto’ – August 2010 LOVIN’ IT! Ramblings of a Chorister After going to my eldest step-son’s wedding in Cyprus, (he took a bigger leap there than I did in Turkey), I sat back and reflected, while sitting on a beach in Agia Napa (yes, really), on why I love going to WEDDINGS with…
