Please stay long enough to find out who we are, what we do and how to contact us.

The Marchington Singers were formed in the Summer of 1984 to entertain at a village event. About a dozen people decided they could manage a few notes to keep boredom at bay at the Harvest Supper - and they enjoyed it so much they decided to carry on!

From those humble beginnings, the Singers have gone from strength to strength and have established themselves an enviable reputation, not only in Marchington and the surrounding area of Staffordshire but also further afield. Concerts have been performed in County Durham, Mansfield and in 2001, a weeks tour of the Rhineland in Germany was successfully undertaken. In 2004 we celebrated our Twentieth Anniversary with a major concert, a tour to Portugal and a new CD. In 2007 we enjoyed a Concert Tour to Mallorca.

In addition, the Singers’ have had great success in Festivals in Burton-on-Trent, Derby, Buxton, Leicester and Biddulph and they accept invitations to sing at concerts, charity evenings and weddings.
In 1992, a collection of music, entitled “Just For You” was recorded on cassette and a CD, entitled “In Harmony” was produced in 2000. These consisted of traditional songs and Christmas music. Both were sold out. The CD of 2004 is entitled “Celebration”

The Singers sang in BBC Songs of Praise Candlelight Carols at Lichfield Cathedral on 18 December 2006 and also in Songs of Praise on Easter Sunday 8 April 2007, again from Lichfield Cathedral.

New members are always welcomed.
