We have also performed songs from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, South Pacific, Sweet Charity and the James Bond films.There is no audition, and anyone can join, as long as they can sing in tune. Most songs are performed in four-part harmony – lower and higher male voices, and lower and higher female voices – so every new member should be able to find a place to fit in. All female places are currently filled, but there is a waiting list you can join. More male voices are very welcome.
