The Choir usually perform up to 15 Concerts each year - though our "Season" is generally only from September to April, with a 4 month break (May to August) from Rehearsals and Concerts.


This long summer break seems to work, as the Choir members return at the end of August full of enthusiasm for each new season. However, it does mean that the Choir cannot usually undertake engagement during May. June. July and August.

We always perform a Christmas Concert at our "base", Trinity Methodist Church in Shiney Row - and we hold our Annual Celebrity Guest Concert at Ewesley Road Methodist Church in Sunderland.

For some 20 years now we've also performed at a fund-raising Charity Christmas Carol Evening at Dobbies' Garden World, Birtley, choosing a different Charity each year - and this has developed over time into a very popular event, supported by hundreds of people, In December 2007, just over £2,000 was raised (with the help of £750 matched funding from Barclays Bank) and this was handed over to the Great North Air Ambulance Trust.

The Choir's Honorary Secretary (Ron Wilson) would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like the Choir to provide a Concert. We are pretty well fully booked for 2009, but there are still some dates available during 2010.
We do not specify a "Fee" - as we are aware that many of the organisations who ask us to sing are raising funds for one reason or another - but we would welcome a reasonable donation towards the cost of music etc.
