The Winners of our Quiz Night - 'Scud and the Missiles'
The Annual Quiz Night was held on Saturday the 21 June and was very successful and enjoyed by everyone there, the quiz was well thought out and compiled and our thanks to the organisers. The winners were 'Scud and the Missiles' I think 'Scud' could be the one at the back doffing his cap!
About us:
-
Eastwood Chorale is a small, friendly and versatile group of singers who meet on Wednesday evenings in the United Reform Church Hall on the corner of Saffory Close and Rayleigh Road in Leigh. The choir has a varied repertoire performing works ranging from Handel and Bach through to Lloyd-Webber and the Beatles. Also for the last few years around Christmas time we have arranged seasonal concerts for those folk who don't often have the opportunity to enjoy musical entertainment.
We perform about 3 concerts each year and aim to provide variety for our members and audiences which means alternating between light music, songs from films and shows and more traditional choral music, such as Faure's Requiem, Messiah etc. -
Whether you have sung before or not, Eastwood Chorale extends a warm welcome to anyone who would like to come along and give us a try. We do not require auditions nor do we expect everyone to be concert performers, most of all we want to welcome folk who might enjoy singing with an enthusiastic bunch of similarly minded people.
-
The choir is set up as a charity (Regd no 1033315) and also has a programme of social events: BBQs, quizzes social evenings which incorporate an element of fund raising and are well supported by our members.
