Fairfield School

What a privilege to perform to the staff and students of Fairfield School, just before their half-term break. The hall was full and a very excited audience awaited the arrival of the Honley men……and what a reception they received from the eager audience. The choir sang a 30 minute programme featuring  varied songs which entertained everyone and even got some singing along. The applause was so good that we had to perform an encore, and cries of ‘more’ followed even that. What a wonderful way for us to share our music with the community and in particular all at Fairfield School, thank for your warm hospitality and reception. Have a good half-term!

Repertoire Workshop

What a great morning exploring music from our library. It’s really important not to forget what music we have and to that end, the choir made suggestions to our MD from our current library list. Not knowing what would come out, we each received a contents sheet and set about thinking about what we could try out!. 205 titles later…we had a list! So, this morning we tried out the top 11 and from that we think we have found 5 we would like to add to our current repertoire. We are planning to do the same in May and explore some of the pieces that were only suggested once! A nice morning singing and sharing comments about the music and even the sun shone!

The New Year

Well folks, it has been a good start to 2017, we have seen several prospective singers attend our rehearsals in January and we welcomed new members prior to finishing in December for our Christmas break. We have begun well and sounding confident and strong. Like most choirs we have a big library and we have recently been asking members to tell our MD Steven Roberts what music we would like to try out in the future. To date we have received over 200 titles and some will be tried out at our repertoire workshop in February! So watch this space for up-dates on what we have chosen. But if you fancy singing or know someone who does just get in touch via our website, speak to Richard and come along one Tuesday! http://www.honleymvc.co.uk
