The 40th Anniversary Collection
Our new CD has now been released to celebrate the choir's 40th Anniversary. Amongst a number of well known favourites and songs performed in the early days of the choir, there is a piece written especially for our Anniversary celebration by Andrew Goddard - "I Write The Songs" originally sung by Barry Manilow.

The Choir spent an exhausting day on 26th March 2011 in the Braintree Arts Theatre recording their new CD.
The recording was carried out by John Trent Wallace who is a Musician, Sound Engineer and Business Consultant and offers these services through his business, TS3. His main musical activities are as a composer of musical theatre and as Musical Director for Brentwood Theatre and the South Woodham Ferrers Male Voice Choir.
We were grateful for the use of the Braintree Arts Theatre and its wonderful facilities and to John for his expert advice.
