Choir and music at St. Mary's
The choir at St. Mary’s are always happy to welcome new singers. You don’t have to be able to read music in order to join! We are a very friendly group who sing at the 10am Eucharist each Sunday morning and also at the major festivals during the year such as Christmas and Easter.
Rehearsals are at 9am on Sunday mornings, so there is no need to go out on cold wet, dark winter evenings!
If this is something that might interest you, why not contact our organist and choirmaster Francis Eastwood, email him at francis.eastwood@btinternet.com, or just pop along one Sunday morning for an informal chat.
