The original workplace choir!

Autumn is here and we started our season with a visit to West Coker which is quite a trek for most of us. We sang there once before, in May 1985, and St Martin's Church certainly made us glad to have returned. The audience were very vocal with their reception of our songs and the evening ended up being one of pleasure for all concerned

Mike James made a successful debut as compere, mixing the information with a bit of his own easy humour. Even his few 'errors' were accepted with much grace from Mike and he soon had the audience laughing with him.

John Gray had a following of Gilbert and Sullivan fans in the audience and they cheered his tongue twisting lyrics during his solos. Pete Jones gained admirers for his solos, especially for "Stars" and "Laughing Policeman". Pete Carlyon sang his debut solo with "The Gas Man Cometh" and encouraged the audience to join in, making work for the audience to do.

The audience joined in with the encore "You'll Never Walk Alone". It's a good job that the church is currently undergoing renovations to the roof because we would easily have raised it if it had not been bolted down.

We look forward to our return to West Coker - hopefully with less of a gap.

We are recruiting new members right now. Men only I'm afraid but it gets the blokes out of the house and gives the ladies a bit of peace and quiet. There comes a time when you have done all that needed to be done and now you find yourself with some spare time. There are many ways to fill that time with happiness but singing in a choir adds another dimension to life. Music is such a natural part of human life - even our hearts keep a beat!
