Over the years we've been performing, the vast majority of the concerts
we've put on have been in aid of charities, often with a local emphasis.
We've been glad to raise many thousands of pounds for good causes.

Although we're not a church choir, sacred music inevitably makes up
a significant part of our repertoire. We have been able to put that
to good use on a couple of occasions in recent years when we have
stood in for Cathedral choirs for a weekend. Those weekends are really
memorable and enjoyable times for us, both for the opportunities to
socialise and to use music in the sort of glorious surroundings for
which much of it was written.
