New musical director.

22 February 2009

The baton has now been passed from Terry Bailey, founder of the choir, to our new director Simon Collins. We had a lovely choir dinner in January where we were all able to convey our best wishes to Terry for the work he has done over many years. A presentation of a bound copy of his Requiem was made to Terry and was received with his grateful thanks and with some emotion. We all welcome our new director Simon and look forward to working with him in preparing for and performing concerts at various venues in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
