The choir rehearses every Wednesday evening (7.30) at St Peter’s Church Hall, St Peters Road, off Bocking End, Braintree CM7 9AN and sings at a number of events each year.
Anyone interested should contact Ron Fosker on 01376 512582 or rfosker@btinternet.com
We sing a wide range of songs, from traditional male voice choir offerings, such as Nessun Dorma and Cwm Rhondda, to songs from shows and more recent material such as Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock 'n’ Roll, Del Shannon’s Runaway and Ed Sheeran’s Perfect.
Rehearsals are held in the centre of Braintree on a Wednesday evening.
It works out at only £4 a week (normally paid yearly or termly)
