Draycott Sounds Choir
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.

St. Mary’s Church Hall in Draycott.
