The kind of things we get up to
We have recorded Demo CDs. It gives the choirs an opportunity to hear what they really sound like and to have the experience of singing in a recording studio.
​
We took part in Dancing with Choirs at Poole Lighthouse in March, which was an amazing event. As we sang, children danced in front of us. It was a magical evening.
​
We've performed a couple of years running at the Wimborne Lights Switch-on.
​
And we always love singing at the various festivals throughout the county, such as:
- Vdub at the Pub in Wimborne
- The Music and Merriment Festival, Spetisbury Rings
- Willett Arms (pub in Wimborne) Mini-Fest
- Dorset Food & Drink Festival, Dorchester
Then there's Wimborne Folk Festival every year. We've sung in the Minster, on stage in the Square, at the Model Village and at Willow Walk. I wonder where we'll be next year?
​
We also give occasional ​family concerts, such as the one at Freestyle music centre where children had the chance to sing with us. Last year's Just Sing Family Festival was held at Lytchett Matravers Village Hall. Wimborne held a family fun day where we were singing in the Square.
​
​The highlight of our year is always our Christmas Concert. It's where family and friends come to hear us and help us raise a lot of money for charity. To date we've raised over £30,000 for local charities.

Singing with G4!
In 2016 we supported G4 on their Back for Good Tour! We (100 of us) sang alongside them in 5 songs and performed two of our own arrangements on their opening night of the tour at The Lighthouse in Poole. We were naturally very excited to be selected to take part in this opportunity.
​
Then in 2017, G4 agreed to sing with us again. This time we were supporting them and singing two of our own songs in a Christmas concert in St. Aldhelm's Church. Poole.
