My brother in law is a lorry driver and delivers fuel. He’s on the road now and there are people following him - literally tracking his every turn - in cars. He says it’s like end of days. 2021 y’all.

Such an emotion to finally meet (despite being in smaller groups) and to be able to share our passion for music and singing! A lot of laughter especially with our joyful and funny MD and accompanist! @LuceyClare @CavendishThe @ROrchestra @RichmondOpera @TeddingtonNub
“Our choirs are now very important parts of our lives. We are both convinced that joining a choir saved us from a life a introspection and sorrow, and helped us build a new purpose in life despite our bereavement” - David, a community choir member #WhyWeSing @DCMS @cj_dinenage
MY CHOIR IS... “a family of like-minded souls from all walks of life who share a passion and support each other. When things are tough I know that there are 120 close friends I can rely on to help each other” - Lesley
