The choir will be singing at the Tarvin Village Fete this year. As this is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, the choir will be singing a selection of songs sung by the troops in the trenches. There will be many familiar songs, or songs with choruses which have been passed to us down over the years. Come along & listen – or even join in! More details to follow.
The Village Fete will take place in Tarvin on Saturday 28th June 2014. The Fete will be held on the King George V Playing Field and in the Community Centre with the concert taking place simultaneously on the Community Centre car park.

The choir enjoyed another splendid evening in concert in the wonderful surroundings at Eaton Hall, Chester, singing to a capacity audience. The concert had an assortment of music to suit all tastes, from a medley of the songs from Oliver, through the modern Adiemus by Karl Jenkins, to the old spiritual, Down to the River to Pray (popularised in the Cohen Brothers film, “Oh Brother where art thou”).
We were very privileged to also be able to present Alex Flanders, a very talented young trumpeter from Northwich, Cheshire, who added thrilling variety to the evening with his repertoire of popular and more esoteric pieces, ably supported on the piano by our brilliant accompanist, Margaret Corlett.
Irene Wilkinson and an army of helpers laid on a superb range of deserts and drinks to really top the evening off, and we raised £1,000 for Clatterbridge, the renowned cancer hospital near Chester.
