The Choir has had numerous successes over the years. It has filled churches and concert-halls nationwide and featured on BBC and ITV television programmes as well as local radio. It has had notable successes in the Guernsey Eisteddfod in 2001 and 2003 and performs regularly in local events such as the Town Carnival and other Guernsey celebrations. "Voices for Hospices" takes place this year in October (2003). A proud moment was when the Choir took part in the 1,000 voice Choir at the Royal Albert Hall in London and also when it sings with 400 Welsh voices in St David's Hall, Cardiff. The Holiday-maker concerts in June and July are particularly popular with tourists from all over the World. In recognition of this and as part of our Millennium special events, we launched this website on 19th June 2000 to keep all our followers up to date on events. The Choir regularly tours Jersey churches and performs annually in Sark at the island hall. Every year it also leads carol singing in the streets of St Peter Port in the run up to Christmas. in 2006, we featured in the BBC TV Songs of Praise programme and BBC Radio 2 Sunday Half Hour broadcasts. The Choir has also recorded two live concert CDs with the most recent Heart Sing produced in 2006. Full details of the original CD are on this website by clicking here . The Choir has the support of many professional Christian artists and performers. Find out more; Supporting Artists |
