The choir is SSA, (soprano, mezzo-soprano and alto) and has a membership base of around 40 members under the watchful eye of Musical Director, Angela Stew...    less

Hark, all ye lovely saints above Diana hath agreed with Love, His fiery weapon to remove. Fa la la. Do you not see How they agree? Then cease fair ladies; why weep ye? Fa la la.
