Clopton Parish Church, 30th October

Oh what a night! Thank you to everyone who came to sing at Clopton Church last night,( "it was just like old times") and incredible to all be back singing together indoors in one of our favourite Churches and the collective sound we made was magical. Thank you and congratulations to all our new members who performed in their first concert with us; the debutants were really thrown in at the deep end but they all rose to the challenge magnificently! Thank you also to our soloists, Matt, Katie, Leony and Toni who always fill us with awe as they get up and sing so brilliantly with 30 seconds' notice! Special thanks to Dennis, who rushed away early from the Saints game to set up the sound system for us we could not exist without his hard work on the balance of the sound and as ever he got it just right last night.

Northampton Half Marathon, 4th October

Although the pandemic prevented this event from taking place last year little had changed since our last appearance. “Lovely Day” was rather apt as once again we entertained the dozens of supporters on the finishing straight as they joined us in and we seemed to inspire the runners to discover hidden reserves of energy. There were a number of well-deserved special mentions such as the guest appearance by Dolly and Lucy but also Judith who not only ran but also joined in to sing when she had finished!

Outdoor Rehearsal Stanwick Lakes June 2021

Because of the Government restrictions we have not been able to rehearse together for 15 months and although zoom has been a great substitute it has not been the same as all being together. After a long wait, we finally had an opportunity to be together and what a couple of magic nights of singing we had!
