Why not join Join Reed Choir?

Reed Choir continues to welcome new members for all voice parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass).  Rehearsals generally take place on the first Sunday of the month at St Mary’s, Reed from 4pm-6pm.  We do not audition singers or charge a subscription.  Singers also do not need to have any choral experience or be able to read music.  You are welcome to attend a rehearsal and see how it works (and how much laughter there usually is too!).  Do contact lizkershaw@hotmail.co.uk if you’d like to visit us and check us out!
