They sing a very wide range of music, from classical to pop, and in
a wide variety of locations, such as church, chapel, residential
homes and weddings.
The choir has undergone three name changes, and several new uniforms in
its 30 year plus life. The choir was originally sponsored by the Cornish
china clay company of ECLP (English clays, Lovering and Pochin), and the
choir took its name from the company headquarters of John Keay House.
When the company was re-named 'English China Clay Company' the ladies
choir took the name, 'ECC ladies choir'. Now the company has new
ownership, and is called Imerys, so the choir has changed its name yet
again to the 'Imerys Singers'
