On Monday 29th April we held our first "A Pie, a Pint and a Song" Taster evening at Camberley Heath Golf Club.  17 men interested in trying out singing in a Men's Choir, many for the first time, joined 24 of the Hampshire and Surrey Hills Men's Choir singers for a combined social evening and singing workshop. Two sessions led by our Music Director Philip Viveash-Brainch introduced the newcomers to vocal techniques and how to sing in multiple parts in a choir with some fun items and in the break between them the guests were able to quiz existing choir members about what it is really like! All this with a free drink plus delicious shepherds pie snack. Following an explanation of next steps, the evening was rounded off with a performance of "Londonderry Air" (aka "Danny Boy") by the existing choir members to demonstrate what you can achieve.

The newcomers are now invited to take part in six weeks of rehearsals, including further singing introduction lessons from Philip,  culminating in partciiapation in the Choir's Summer Concert on 28th June at High Cross in Camberley.
