2021 – the year we resumed in person

The Stone Civic Parade 2021 had been postponed from earlier in the year but was a well attended event. It had representatives from the choir and a brass band accompanying the new Mayor and many other dignitaries.

The summer barbecue July 2021 at Oulton village hall proved a happy time for a reunion.

At last we were able to sing together in person – definitely something to celebrate!

Zimbe! workshop February 2020

We all had a great time at the workshop day and welcomed around 40 guests to sing with us. Cakes and singing are a happy combination and we had plenty of both. As we have come to expect, Harriet and Jenny gave us a fantastic musical experience with their conducting and piano playing. We are looking forward to singing this collection of songs with other choirs int he Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent on 25th March. Martin took photos and videos – see the links below.

Christmas Carol Concert 2019

For the first time we were joined by Keele University Brass band who provided the extra Christmas spirit in the concert. Thank you KUBB and their leader Katharine Slater.

We performed a wide variety of carols from medieval times to 21st century compositions. Audience and performers all enjoyed mince pies and wine at the interval.
