Who We Are

A lively, welcoming a cappella choir in Somerset

We are a lively group of around 65 singers, united by our passion for a cappella harmony and the strong sense of community that comes from singing together.

Our Goal

Our goal is to embrace the joy of singing with others and build confidence in using our natural voices. Whether you sing soprano, alto, tenor, or bass, we’d love to welcome you. New members are always encouraged to join, and you can try a free taster session anytime.

Alongside the new songs we learn, we also have a repertoire of much-loved favourites, and we usually enjoy singing a few of these together towards the end of each weekly session.

Our Members

Our members come from across Somerset, including Chard, Yeovil, Taunton, Ilminster, Crewkerne, Langport, and Martock.

When and where we meet

We meet every Tuesday morning during school term time, 10–12pm, at Norton Sub-Hamdon Village Hall.

Led by our warm and light-hearted choir leader, Claire Anstee, our sessions are fun, uplifting, and taught entirely by ear—no auditions or music reading skills required.

Performing

We do like to perform occasionally and often for charity. We have also enjoyed joining forces with singers from Claire's two other choirs at The South West Choir Convention in Bristol - here we get to learn and sing new songs with around 600 people in St George's Hall.

We then head out for a delicious meal together before returning to perform two songs for a wonderfully receptive audience, and to enjoy listening to all the other choirs taking part. There is never any pressure to perform.

It's a great day out.​

We sometimes sing at “Come for Coffee in Martock”, Montacute House, and Ark at Egwood, often raising money for our favourite charity, WaterAid, as well as other much-loved local causes.

At the end of each term, we share a friendly performance for friends and family in our village hall, followed by a relaxed bring-and-share lunch together.
