The Choir known as "Guernsey's Community Choir" is on a 'new wave' following the success of the 2007 concerts and in particular the packed houses at St James in December and the launch of our new CD in 2006 'Heart Sing'.
The Choir is always looking to recruit new members especially male basses and tenors and Altos. We would like to see numbers increase by 25% with an all age 'family feel' grouping, particularly with the aim of adding more under 30s & 40's. No experience required; no auditions - just a love of singing biblically based songs, hymns and psalms all styles of music. Full training and support is given.
We meet for rehearsals at St Martin's School on Monday evenings at 7.30pm.

Just contact Roy Sarre, our Musical Director - he's easy going and friendly! He is inviting all interested voices as potential singers to contact him on tel. no. 01481 263930, fax 01481 265004 or Jose Paine on 01481 721215. Some musical background will help but no singing experience or auditions are required. All necessary training and support will be provided. Just come and rehearse with 100 voices at St Martin's school on Monday evenings at 7.30pm. It is however important that you speak to Roy Sarre beforehand rather than just turn up.
Singers Wanted!
More basses and altos needed. "Men are often written off as singers at school when they are told that they are spoiling the choir and told to go and play football instead" says Roy Sarre. "But pretty everyone can sing if given the right encouragement and who knows, perhaps there are one or two Pavarottis or Domingos walking around Guernsey unaware of the talent they possess."
We would like to double the size of the Altos section, increase the Bass section by 100% and add at least ten or more tenors as well as sopranos and baritones.
You will all be really welcome. Come along and have a good sing. For more details call;
