The Marchington Singersare a mixed choir and currently has 49 members - 12 first sopranos, 10 second sopranos, 12 altos, 6 tenors, 6 baritones, 3 basses, a resident accompanist (Rhoda Castle) and conductor (Wendy Scott). We are based in the village of Marchington, near Uttoxeter in Staffordshire.
Our Repertoire is 'mixed'! We enjoy traditional four-part songs, as well as the favourite classics. We mount our own concerts as well as being invited to entertain at other events, and our Christmas Candlelight event is not to be missed!
We sing at weddings, fundraising and corporate occasions, church festivals, dinners - and almost any event you would care to name! Best of all - we enjoy it! Membership New members are always welcome - especially tenors! There is a voice test. If you are interested in joining us you can use the Join Us button above or contact our Conductor Wendy Scott.
Last year (2009) we celebrated our 25th Anniversary with some memorable events.
In July we performed a Gala Concert, preceded by a Reception, to an audience of 200
at Thomas Alleyne’s High School in Uttoxeter. This was followed, in September, by
our Anniversary Dinner at Smallwood Manor school.
The anniversary year has been rounded off with our fourth overseas tour - to Belgium
and The Somme. The party of 42 (32 singers and 10 guests) is the largest touring
group so far; proving that this event is very popular. We returned from the tour
on 3rd June. It was an extremely successful tour in all respects - both musically
and socially. A brief report and images from the trip are shown on the Belgium
Tour page.
