The Choir meets at weekly 'Summer Sings' sessions during the summer holidays and then as a celebration of the achievements, we hold an Autumn Finale Concert. This year was no exception and indeed this year's concert was an even bigger affair with a larger audience and yet more choirs invited to perform.
The Concert was held in the Autumn.on Friday 8th November at 7.30pm
It was a two-hour show. We invited some local guest choirs to perform two pieces each.
Somer Singers, local a cappella performance group
Wood Street Community Choir, led by Catharine Mowat

Then the Scratch Choir 2019 took to the stage en masse to perform their learned pieces from the Summer Sings. Finally, the massed choirs all joined in for one final "big sing" of a piece they'd all learned prior to the concert.
What a fantastic night it was too! And to top it all off, we raised over £2000 for our chosen charity, St. Margaret's Hospice!
