Gigs of the week – 5

by Claire Colman

Last week was our final week of the year before our Christmas break, so every night at choir we had a superb, and somewhat competitive, Christmas quiz! Photos of all the different choirs in their Christmas garb can be found in the gallery. We then rounded off the year in style with our annual Christmas social at The Imperial in Exeter. The first set we sang was all our Christmas repertoire, then after a break for some refreshment, we sang a second set of some Christmas songs, and some favourites from the past year. We are now officially on our break and will start back again on 6th January in Plymouth - why not make a New Year's resolution to come and join us. We will be starting all new songs, and you can have TWO taster sessions FREE. Just have a look at venues and times on our CHOIRS page...

A lovely warm and friendly atmosphere and plenty of Christmas spirit!

Both guest acts were phenomenal and there were several comments of 'goosebumps' or 'best year ever'. There are plenty of photos from the night in our gallery HERE and if you were not able to...

This weekend was another bumper one of singing and Christmas cheer! We started on Friday 6th December with our first BIG concert of the season, the Celebration of Life concert at Plymouth Guildhall raising funds for St Luke's Hospice. Sam talking to Claire Behennah whose daughter Chloe was supported by St Luke's We were joined by one of the winners of our Devon Schools Choir Competition, Uffculme School choir, who performed a fantastic set, despite having several of their number off sick and having a last minute change of set list! Congratulations to Uffculme School, you were amazing!

They love...
