Booking the Choir for a
Concert/Event
The Choir are more than willing to engage in concerts for charities, charitable organisations, churches, community
groups and other worthy causes throughout Cumbria. We have a vast repertoire to draw upon and concerts are
always sung without musical copies. We can also engage the services of local female soloists and/or Sethera Brass if
required, to complement the Choir in your concert. The Choir even respond to special requests prior to
concerts, recently we learned the Westlife hit 'You Raise Me Up' especially for a concert of the same title. Concert
bookings will of course depend on a suitable venue. However, a piano is not required as we can bring our own keyboard. The
services of the Choir are provided entirely FREE of charge
to the charities/charitable organisations and other worthy causes we perform for, allowing all monies raised to benefit
the chosen charities. The Choir are also available to sing at weddings, corporate functions and in schools/colleges. If
you wish to book the Choir, or would like details of how to organise a concert incorporating the Choir, contact our very
helpful concert secretary Don Messenger. Tel: 01946 63452
