February Denbigh Choir Newsletter

February 28, 2018 By Richard Thompson 2 Comments

The February Denbigh Choir Newsletter features the British weather. Not even snow and freezing Siberian weather can stop the Choir meeting up for its weekly Choir Practice.

Nia Jones Choir Accompanist

We appreciate such dedication and loyalty. Some members, and especially our accompanist Nia Jones, travel considerable distances to be present.

New Choir Members

New choir members are a rare species. But we are delighted to report that we have three recent new arrivals in the choir.

Alun Jones and Bryn Davies are experienced choristers with Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir.

Alun has responded to gentle persuasion to ‘come out of retirement’ and start singing once again.

Andrew Faulkner has no previous singing experience. On retirement he wanted a ‘challenging and interesting hobby.’ We hope the choir meets his needs.

Bryn Davies is a first tenor with experience with Trelawnyd
Male Voice Choir. He also plays in a Brass Band.

Welcome to our choir!

Dates for Your Diary

This year the choir celebrates its 30th Anniversary.
There is no better way to celebrate than to hold a Gala Concert.

The date is November 24, 2018.
