Stanchester Quire
The choir was formed around 11 years ago by Eddie Upton of 'Folk South West' who had a brainwave of getting a group of local people from all walks of life to learn to sing folk songs and traditional carols in 4 part harmony. As you can hear, the results have been pretty amazing and the choir has gone from strength to strength. In our concerts we don't just sing as a choir. We also do solos,duets and trios for example and little sketches and stories as well.
Stanchester Quire is a community choir based in South Somerset, England. The songs we sing are English folk songs from the South West and elsewhere and West Gallery church music at Christmas time . We consist of people of all ages and both sexes and come from diverse backgrounds. We sing generally unaccompanied by instruments and the sound we produce is often quite magical.
We meet to practice in Montacute at All Saints Primary School on Tuesday nights in term time. We give concerts around the region every year in summer and Christmas time.
New members will be made very welcome. You can find out more from our website at www.stanchesterquire.co.uk
