About us

Draycott Sounds is a mixed-voice community choir with singers of all ages (adult only) and abilities. The choir is led by an experienced Musical Director and singer (from Rolls-Royce Ladies Choir) Christine Hunt and talented pianist, Kathryn Brown.

​There are around 50 choir members and we all joined because we enjoy singing with others. We have fun, make new friends and go away happy and de-stressed. 

Repertoire

​The choir sings in 4-part harmony and has a wide repertoire including songs from the shows, popular hits, folk music and of course a range of festive music.

In 2025 we raised £2,010 for our chosen charities. £670 was gifted to: Safe Families; HOPE Long Eaton and treetops Hospice.
We also donated £100 to MND in memory of Dave Atkins, a former long standing member of the choir who sadly passed away after a long illness.
