Fishpond Choir to appear for The Grand Pavilion

The well known Fishpond Choir are to appear in St Mary’s Church in Cromford on Saturday the 14th of July. The choir started up in the Fishpond pub in 2001 as a community choir. The event is being organised as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Grand Pavilion, who managed to reopen the building partially for the first time last month.

The choir, which is about fifty strong, sings a wide selection of material which includes folk music from around the world, light classical pieces and items specially written or arranged by Dana and Anne.  However, its first love is African music - mostly from the south of the continent. Nobody knows if it was the country’s first pub choir but founder members like to think so.

The Fishpond Choir start their performance at 7.30pm in St Mary’s Church, Cromford.  At 6.30pm we will be opening the Wharf Café for drinks (both alcoholic and soft) before the event and the café will re-open after the event. Tickets are £5 for members and £8 for non-members. They can be bought at Arkwright’s Stores in Cromford; Top Kens in Wirksworth; Matlock Music Shop in Dale Road; The Mining Museum and Bob’s Newsagents in Matlock Bath.
