The inaugural meeting of a new mixed choir at St Keverne attracted 30 people who ran through two pieces, leading to many of them indicating they will be returning for future rehearsals.

It has been decided, initially, to hold practices fortnightly, every other Wednesday at 7.30pm in the St Keverne Church Hall with the next one on October 1.

Musical director Christine Cumber said: “We were all very pleased by the enthusiasm of everyone who came along.

By the end of the evening we were already achieving a really good sound so hopefully this is something we will be able to build on.”

Everyone is welcome to attend, sopranos are especially needed but whatever your range, age and ability, you are invited to go along and see what you make of it.
