Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the evening and there was lots of singing as you would expect, and plenty of refreshments, making it a great social occasion.

You do not need to read music and you will be singing with at least one experienced singer, Rob Yarnell, Hereward’s young and talented music director who will guide you through the learning process .

The first part of the evening will concentrate on developing the new singers and songs.

There will then be a break for free refreshments after which the Chorus will sing some of its repertoire. Those who go along will also receive sheet music and teach tracks that will allow you to practice in your own time .

Lots of men would love to sing, but sadly most never get round to it for numerous reasons, so now is the time to overcome any fears.

It does not matter whether you are new to singing or have sung in the past, there is a place for you and age is no barrier .

Progress will be rapid and you will be surprised at how sweet the sound of a four-part harmony is.
