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. |
