Quire News and Events
In 2009 The Quire Social was held at Norton Village hall in April where we were entertained by Ed Rennie and musicians. Later we were treated to some music for dancing with non other than Mr Eddie Upton kindly doing the calling for us and rounding off the party nicely!
The Quire then performed at Kingsbury Episcopi May Fayre ( where we sang for an hour virtually non stop with a good sized appreciative audience).
Later in May we performed (for the first time) at the ‘Festival of Voice’ at Stourhead. We hope to be repeating this in 2010! ( and even, possibly , be there in December this year)
At the end of May we had a pleasant day at ‘Angela Whitfield’s Gardens’ Angela was a one time member of the Quire and kindly invited us to sing there.
In June we were at Blake hall, South Petherton and later in the month at the Meeting house in Ilminster.
There was also a joint concert with the Winchester Community Choir
On the 11th July the Quire performed at Bishops Hull, Taunton as part of their village ‘Summer Event’
Unfortunately the weather was non too kind that day but the show did go on!!
On Sunday 6th Sept. The Quire ‘Walk and cream tea’ was hosted by Steve and Barbara Harvey at ‘Corner Barn’ Whitelackington. Many thanks to Steve and Barbara for a really nice day at their lovely house and for the walk to Dillington House.
The new CD recording is now in the final stages of production and hopefully will be on sale during the December concerts.
