Marldon Community Choir – ‘The choir that just keeps on giving’,

We had great pleasure in singing at Mayfield College’s Christmas Fair, as it’s the Charity we have chosen to support this year.

Our Chair, Yvonne Paddon, was pleased to present a cheque for £500.00 to Rachel Hawthorne, Head of College at Mayfield.

Our choir has supported several charities since we started singing in 2014: Rowcroft Hospice, Devon Air Ambulance, Children’s Hospice South west, St Johns church Totnes, The Salvation Army, and many more.

If you enjoy Singing and would like to join us, please contact us on this website.

We sang our hearts out at our Christmas concert in Marldon Parish Church, and pleased to have so many friends and families to join us. We finished with audience participation in ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ followed by mince pies and mulled wine. Definitely in the Christmas spirit now.

We had a lovely sing at Occombe Farm to add to their Christmas cheer, and delighted that so many children, parents and staff joined us.

Come and Join us for fun and entertainment at our Race Night!

Proceeds will go to Mayfield College and for buying new music for Marldon Community Choir.

Please see details below for when, where and how to buy tickets!

We need new members in all sections of the choir so please come and join us!

We are starting to rehearse our Christmas music, some familiar tunes and lots of new ones. We meet on Mondays at 7.30pm, and we welcome anyone young or old, whether you live in Marldon or elsewhere. So if you would like to come for a taster session with no obligations, contact us via this website or on our Facebook page and we will give you further details.

Please come and Join us!

We are really pleased to be putting on this popular event again. The evening includes a live link-up to the Albert Hall, and lots of singing and flag-waving! So put on your glad rags and we’ll see you there.

We have been busy raising funds for Ukraine and we are pleased to announce that we raised £826.25 from our recent “Grease Sing-a-long” and £637.50 from donations from the Choir. A grand total of £1463.75 !!

A massive thank you to all choir members, friends and families and to those who joined us for our “Grease sing-a-long” for their generosity.

…. to singing again!

Just to confirm we are meeting tomorrow Monday 7th Feb at Marldon Parish Church at 7.30pm.

Please bring a face covering to wear whilst moving around, they can be removed once seated and as usual we will be spacing the chairs so we are socially distanced.

Also please bring any music you may have at home, as new music will be distributed for the Summer term.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

We are going to start back singing on Monday 7th Feb and will start working towards a summer concert rehearsing through to Monday 11th April without a half-term break.

Our summer concert with be on Saturday 2nd July at St John’s Church, Totnes

And there are some social events coming up to put in the calendar:

Saturday 9th April – Sing along Grease

Saturday 10th September – Last night of the Proms with a live link to the Royal Albert Hall.

Oh dear, I’m sorry to say that we are going to postpone the start of choir rehearsals and will not be meeting next Monday 10th Jan as originally planned.

This is because of high levels of Covid locally. Several members have expressed concern about this and the Choir Committee made this decision yesterday.

Please watch this website for further information. Hopefully we will resume in a couple of weeks, but will let everyone know in good time.
