"An ability to read music is not a criteria for joining: simply a love of music and an enthusiasm to sing are the most important factors, so if you fit the bill please get in touch.”

The choir has around 45 members. They practice every Thursday from 7pm to 9pm at West Wakefield Methodist Church, Thornes.
