Ordsall Acapella Choir

On Friday 18th May, I went with the Acapella Choir to Stockport Art Museum, where they were booked to sing at the preliminaries before an Achievement Award Presentation. There were many dignitaries there, canapés and drinks were served and a bongo band was playing as people entered the museum. The choir were asked to sing in the chapel of remembrance where the acoustics were brilliant for this type of singing.

After their traditional warm up, they sang many songs, under the watchful eye of the professional choirmaster who puts them through their paces every Tuesday at the Every One Centre in Ordsall. Their performance was outstanding and very professional, especially considering some of the members had only been with the group for a few weeks. Lots of people stopped and listened to the choir and gave them tremendous applause. Some even asked could they go to the Tuesday night sessions.

I have been to many of their performances, over the last few years, when there were only at the most half a dozen singers, this time however there were 15 of them. This influx of members is mainly due to their appearance on Radio Manchester in March when they asked for new members.

If there is anyone out there who enjoys singing, and wants to sing for pleasure and be with a good crowd of fun loving people, then here’s your opportunity.

If you have any event where a choir would be appropriate please get in touch with Ordsall Community Arts at the Everyone Centre in Ordsall.
