Although the choir works to a very high standard, there are no auditions. Instead, several times a year we hold 'open rehearsals', to which any and all are welcome to come along, join in and get a feel for the unique experience of choral singing.

Over the years, we've heard 'em all. Here are a few, with our responses:

1. I've never sung in a choir.

Good! We prefer a 'blank canvas'

2. I'm afraid of auditions.

So are we - we don't have any!

3. I usually sing off key.

That's fine: we sing off sheet music.

4. I can't read music.

Neither can Sir Paul McCartney.

5. I have a terrible voice.

Don't worry, we can put you next to some loudmouths.

6. I have a hearing difficulty.

So did Beethoven.

7. I'm tone deaf.

As long as it's the right tone...

8. I don't have the time.

We can find you a watch.

9. I can't sing solo.

Relax: we always get professionals in for those.
