10th November: Tonight was a waxing moon, a little over half-full, and Torre Abbey was glowing with multi-coloured lights and crowded with people - and their dogs – for the Eyeview Wavelength festival, an open-air celebration of light and sound and creativity. A perfect night for us to sing in the Spanish Barn.

With Chris, our Musical Director, on a sabbatical, we had Isobel to direct us. We had a lot of discussion beforehand about which songs to choose for our short set. We wanted to start with a boost, so Deke Shannon’s arrangement of Best Day of My Life won the vote. Then a couple of Beatles classics – In My Life and Can’t Buy Me Love.

The choice of the last one was obvious, in keeping with the ‘moon’ theme of the night – Moon River. We love it, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

Starting to plan for Christmas. News on sing outs coming soon

Well 12th September could be your chance to get involved.

We spread lots of Christmas cheer this year with a flurry of singouts at Christmas at Killerton, Torbay Crematorium, Animals In Distress, Southlands Care Home, Newton Abbot, Newton Abbot Bowling Club Christmas Party, Singer Court, Preston and our favourite annual event at All Saints Church, Babbacombe

Annual Carol Concert.

We even added an extra touch of Christmas magic with hand bells played by the lovely Niki (with help from Jude) on Carol of the Bells. Wonderful!

Everyone is looking forward to 2019 and wondering what it will bring.

Happy New Year!

What a weekend we had. Such fun, a wonderful trip and we did ourselves proud - definitely an audience favourite as we were different to most of the other choirs and lots of fun - we were even mentioned on Twitter in the same post as Theresa May!

Not only was it the Choir Festival but we also caught the start of the Derry Halloween celebrations - wow. Derry is a wonderful city and we'd definitely like to go back.
