After a tremendous start to 2022, we were delighted to perform at the Saints vs Wasps match on 13th March! Resident rubgy enthusiast and choir founder Ruth shares her highlights:…
What another great night and we even had some 'new' songs peppered in amongst the old favourites. I think the highlight has to be Gareth's face when he realised the soloist wasn't there to sing Heal the World and with two seconds' notice ended up singing the solo himself (pay back time!).
The Tree of Life Service at Cransley Hospice in Kettering was outside on a bleak Sunday evening in wintery conditions and for many it was the third successive day that choir members had sung. As a worthy charitable cause for which we have raised funds previously the experience of singing al fresco, in the dark was unique.
One of the most rewarding elements of the choir’s activities over the last decade has been the smaller gigs when we visit intimate church communities where the church comes to life with young and old alike on their feet clapping and swaying with us. There is something about the ambience of a church with hundreds of years of history alive with song and good cheer. In the case of St Andrew’s, Yardley Hastings it is a venue which we have played previously and the church reflects the vibrancy of the village community. Despite the constrictions of Covid regulations such that masks, sanitising and social distancing we inspired the locals to dance and sing and temporarily forget the realities of Covid seemingly dominating our daily lives.
As part of the focus week on Black Lives Matter the Choir were asked to perform at the Northampton General Hospital to the employees. Unfortunately because of the 'mask wearing' policy whilst on the premises it meant we could not sing live but instead we sent a video of two of the Choirs' favourite songs recorded in Wellingborough School Chapel. A huge thank you to Katie for singing the solo. To see the video please click on this link.
