Looking ahead to next season…
On 8 June 2024 we sang the final concert of our 2023-24 season to a wonderful audience in St Mary’s Church, Bunny. Thanks to everyone who came and joined in the fun of a varied programme of partsongs, folksongs and swing, with piano, a couple of fiddles and a flute.
Next season, September 2024 to July 2025, will be our 40th – how did that happen?! It’s going to be a special one. Pop the dates below into your diary, and we’ll look forward to seeing you.
