As we previously announced, Chris Owen, who led the choir as Musical Director since 2016, decided to step down from the role just prior to the start of Covid lock-down. We would like to express our warm thanks to Chris for all the hard work he has put in over the years and for helping to grow the choir into the village phenomenon that it is today!

We are now delighted to announce, as we prepare to start live rehearsals again, that we have a new Musical Director – Luc Bailey. For those of you that don’t know Luc, he used to live in the village and was our pianist a few years ago. He also leads the Gloucestershire Police Male Voice Choir, and works as a music and theatre practitioner at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham.

We think Luc is an ideal choice to take the choir forward and are very excited to start working with him. For rehearsals, he will accompany us on the piano as well as conducting – although we may hire an additional accompanist for performances.
