Our Christmas season at the end of 2009 had a low and a high point. Sadly we lost one of our new basses Spatz Picken a well-loved member of the Tregony community. We also held a Christmas concert in conjunction with Truro Crown Court in their wonderful building, singing to a large audience and raising a tidy sum for their Victim Support Charity.

We have had a tremendous start to the year. At the Choir's AGM in January we were delighted that Andy Secombe a local actor, voice actor, and author agreed to become a Vice President of the Choir. He is probably best known for providing the voice of Watto in the Star Wars prequels, and has five fantasy novels to his name He is also joined by Jill Hosking of Fentongollan, whose husband Jim was our President before his untimely loss.

The Choir were also invited to sing in a joint concert with the Truro Cathedral Choir on St Piran's day on 5 March. The concert was a great success with an audience in excess of four hundred. This was the first time the Cathedral choir had ever performed with a local male voice choir and were so pleased with the result that a further concert is now planned.

Choir recruiting has also continued a pace with membership now standing at seventy-six. We are particularly keen to recruit some new top tenors. The Choir are now concentrating on a range new music including a arrangements by our accompanist Martin Davies.

The Choir invite any local top tenors to come and experience the choir ambiance and repertoire at one of their regular practices at Truro School Chapel at 7.30 PM on a Thursday night.
