We had a fun time at Darlaston Town Hall on November 29th, where we performed a Christmas Carol Concert for charities selected by Willenhall Rotary. There was a good turnout and a fine programme with plenty of community singing and an enjoyable evening all round.

Into December we hd a frenetic schedule of Carol concerts for local churches, care homes and local communities and you can follow the link below to see some of the offerings.

Our concert on October 17th was held at Portobello Methodist Church as St. Stephens' is currently undergoing repairs. It was good to be back, if only briefly, in our old rehearsal venue and an enjoyable time was had by all.

The concert was in aid of MIND, the mental health charity and we raised £600 approx for this good cause. We have a lot of pictures and videos, courtesy of Beth and Paul, and a couple of them are shown below.

 Our concert to raise funds  to repair the church roof at St.Stephen's was a success We sang very well and raised over £400 for the cause.Another varied programme, from Sound of Music through  Mr Blue Sky to Fix You, was enjoyed by us and the audience!

Beth and Paul took lots of photos and videos and here are a selection.

We have had a busy start to 2025.

Our Annual Dinner was held at the 3 Hammers in January and it was fun , as usual!

A concert for our friends at the Tin Tabernacle on was also well received by the audience, which included the local MP, Wendy Morton. Unfortunately no photos have been found of either event so you'll have to take our word for it!

In April we at last took delivery of the ladies new uniforms, in a rather splendid shade of green, which we have called Watkins Green.This recognises Tony Watkins, a long standing former member , no longer with us, who made a significant donation to the choir which paid for them.

Here is the first photo of their first public outing.

We held our Spring Bouquet concert at St. Stephen's Church on April 27th and it went very well.A smaller audience than normal saw us perform a trademark Justine designed programme. We sang everything from Abba to Callum Scott, with many stops in between and it seems the folks loved it! Beth and Paul took many shots and videos of the evening and a small selection are reproduced below.

What a finish to 2024!

We had an excellent turnout for our Christmas singalong on December 15th at St Stephen's and great fun was had by one and all. We also sang in Willenhall town centre, at Manor Hospital and at Cadent HQ .

As usual , Justine , our Musical Director , produced an excellent and varied programme and everyone had to participate! Carols were sung by one and all , some seasonal numbers from the choir and some really good solo peformances.Add to that an all singing effort on 12 Days of Christmas and a bit of fun with December 25th and you may get a flavour of the evening.

We have many photo memories of the evening and a few of them follow.

And  since it was a fun evening , here are a few videos!

Our first Christmas concert of 2024 was held at the Tin Tabernacle in Rushall on December 1st.There was an appreciative audience to listen to Christmas music, sing some carols and witness some light hearted banter! There was tea, coffee and mince pies (and jam tarts!) and a raffle which gave patrons the fortitude for audience participation in the carol singing! A fine evening all round, marred only by a lack of photos of the occasion. We are currently interrogating people to unearth any that may have been taken.

We had another fun evening on October 26th when we performed our

"Autumn Leaves "concert in aid of the Rotary nominated charities.

A good turnout enjoyed a wide selection of song , with some fine soloists, and sea shanties included. There was tea and cookies and a great raffle  and we raised over £700 for good causes.Thanks to all who contributed to a cracking evening!

A few pictures.

An enjoyable evening took place on September 8th, when we celebrated the 45th anniversary of St. Stephen's Church, our rehearsal venue.There was a good attendance , with food and drink and much camaraderie! The audience was appreciative and funds were raised for the church with a tremendous raffle.We also took the opportunity to update the choir group photo which now appears at the head of our website home page.

For some reason we do not have any photos of the proceedings, so if you have any please pass them on to us!!

We had a great night celebrating our 80th Birthday!

There was a good turnout, including some old choir members as well as old friends. It was great to see them all and reminisce about all the fun times we have had. There were old cuttings and photos of the choir recording events over the past 80 years scattered about the social area , and a power point display of much loved faces from our history, many of whom are no longer us.Justine put together a programme that reflected music across our history and there was some community singing too!

All in all, it was a memorable evening and we have some excellent photos to show you.

Our first concert of 2024 was held at Christ the Kingdom Church in Rushall on February 25th. My apopogies for not flagging this event up on the website, senior moment! Geoff Clews , the concert promoter, deserved better.

The church is unusual but the audience friendly and we gave our usual varied performance which was well received. I believe we raised a decent sum for church funds. And there were a couple of novelty numbers which went down well too! Pictures follow.

The Annual Dinner was held at Oxley Park Golf Club on January 8th and although the turnout was a little lower than previous years , a good time was had by all!
