Kingsmen - New Recruits

After a very successful free 6week 'Learn to Sing in Harmony' course we have seven new members who have since passed the audition phase. Hon Life President and former Music Director Roy Hann has been instrumental in putting the new guys through their paces, conducting voice checks and giving them expert tuition in the process after the course had finished.


We are fortunate to have recruited six new leads and one tenor (Chris Lambart).


The leads are Tim Field, Martin Gerrard, Paul Horrocks, Richard Uff, Craig Wensley, Neil Woodcock.


There was an opportunity for the new guys to perform to their friends and family at the end of course concert held at the Kingsmen's rehearsal venue. This was followed by an excellent 'afterglow' at the Loft restaurant on Fore Street, Kingsbridge where pizzas were laid on for everyone and of course the opportunity to sing a few more songs.


New Music Director Gary Rowe is pleased how the chorus is progressing under his guidance and especially pleased how the new members have integrated so well.


There is a fresh new vibe about the chorus and we look forward to several performances scheduled for the coming months. Check our 'What's On' tab for more information.


We wish to thank our chairman Stu Newberry, and members Peter Dale and Ian Wooler for their fantastic efforts in managing the Risk Assessments and endeavours to keep the chorus safe during Covid.
