If our concert schedule whets your appetite and you would like to sing an interesting repertoire then why not join us? You have a good ear though not necessarily a trained voice, although it does help if you can read music.
We are always recruiting new singers, so if you are interested, drop in to any rehearsal and see if you would like to be part of our group. We meet every Monday at 7.30 pm in the Roy Kemp room of the Central Hall in Duncombe Street, Grimsby. Visitors are more then welcome.
