Cricklesingers Choir
Joining Cricklesingers
We meet every Thursday in term time, at the library. Rehearsals run from 1900-2100, with a short break for a biscuit and chat in the middle.
We are currently recruiting for all parts! Hurrah!
How to Join
We accept new members where we have part vacancies in the first half of each term only. You are welcome to attend a taster session in the second half of any term, but we would then ask you to join formally from the first week of the new term.
Fill in this form and we’ll be in touch.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals take place on Thursday evenings, from 1900-2100. Please sign up to the Whatsapp Group if you’re a choir member.
Cricklesingers Website
We have our own website for sharing of music resources. It is accessible here. You’ll need the password. Please ask on Whatsapp or at a rehearsal for this.
Performances
We try to perform at least once a term, because it’s good to have something to work towards. We normally perform on the last rehearsal of every term. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
Fees
Fees depend on how many members we have, and can therefore go down or up, depending on membership. Our membership is currently quite stable and fees have remained at £6 per session, paid termly in advance. This means that most terms cost between £60 and £80 depending on the number of weeks. Your first session is free.
If possible, we prefer payment by BACs transfer, but our friendly treasurer, Sandy, is always open to discussing other ways of payment, or payment plans if needed.
What to Bring
Repertoire
Our Musical Director, Enda, chooses a varied repertoire of songs to suit the choir’s composition. It’s an eclectic mix of pop, folk, world and ancient music so far. You won’t be bored!
