Joint Concert with Exaltation Choir at Trinity Church – December 2023

Sat, 16 Dec 2023

What an excellent way to finish the season!

And we are back with a bang! Our first concert back since the extended break due to Covid. And back at a new venue! We moved to The Empire Theatre September 2023, and this was our first concert on our new stage…

You’ll notice the audience are all standing – it was Carol Singing time! We may be in a new venue, but we still made sure the audience got their annual singlaong with us!

Christmas Concert – 2019

Sat, 7 Dec 2019

Unknown to us, this was to be our last concert at Ramsey – and our last concert for a few years! Covid was just around the corner, and we would be singing on Zoom for a while… but we kept going!!

This was also the concert Sam had to conduct the entire two-hour performance with a baby in a sling, as the youngest member of the choir just would not settle with anyone else!!
