Ordsall Acapella

Ordsall Acapella Singers

The Acapella singers are now based at Ordsall Hall, and practise in the Great Hall, (which is renowned for its acoustics), every Tuesday evening 7pm to 9pm. They would welcome anyone to join their choir. They have several bookings over the next couple of months.

I accompanied the choir on Saturday last, 20^th October, when they had been booked to appear in a cabaret show in St. Clements Church, Edge Lane, Chorlton. They sang twice once at the beginning and then after the interval. Everyone gave them good applaud and were asked to appear at the next show in March next year. The other acts included an alternative comedian, an amazing magician and an African drum band. The show was called ‘Give the Telly the Welly’ which had been organised by a member of the choir David Adelman who can be contacted at davidadelman@talktalk.net .

A good time was had by all.

Last night Tuesday 23^rd October, the choir had been asked to appear in a documentary for Channel M which followed the events at the Hall for one day. The film crew were very impressed with their singing and the show will be on Channel M on Friday 26^th October at 8pm.

If anyone wants any more information about joining or supporting the choir please contact Gail Skelly at Ordsall Community Arts in the Everyone Centre or e-mail gail at gail@ocarts.co.uk.
