Calder Valley Voices is a community
choir based in Hebden Bridge (though some of our members come from as
far away as, yes, Halifax and Todmorden). We sing together for enjoyment
and run our own affairs. This year's spring term began on Thursday 23 April
2009 and resumed on Thursday June 4th. Sadly, you just missed our annual concert on Thursday 14 May: here are some pictures.
We perform sometimes at local events like the Hebden Bridge arts festival, by invitation to special or private events, or at festivals such as Raise Your Banners or national Street Choirs events. During the early summer we're busy. Here are our latest pictures: at Hebden Bridge's Handmade Parade, and at a picnic with members of other choirs at Clarion House Nelson on the Summer Solstice. But mostly we're just singing together for fun. Here for instance is one version of fun: a picnic on Blackstone Edge, on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border, on a windswept May 3rd, singing Chartist songs with choir members from Halifax, Burnley, Bolton and Calder Valley Women's Choir. We have regular workshops too: here are some pictures of Jules Gibb's in June featuring West Gallery songs. We meet in the Methodist Church Hall at the junction of Hebble End and Market Street, Hebden Bridge. There are over 50 of us at the moment: do join us! |
