The Gentlemen Songsters Male Voice Choir is a Registered Charity (Charity No 1106045), and a non-profit making organisation. We are more than happy to support and promote charitable events. Whilst we do make a charge for performances in order to provide a continuing supply of new music, to provide uniforms, and to cover the cost of travel to and from concert venues, we will always ensure that only a nominal fee is charged to assist you in your charity fund-raising. Please feel free to discuss these charges with our Treasurer, Bob Biggs, on 01384 459770, he will be happy to provide you with a firm quote

WEDDINGS

"WE SING WHILE YOU SIGN"

It is becoming increasingly "in vogue" to invite the Gentlemen Songsters to sing at your wedding. It swells the congregation (in a church service), it complements the singing of the guests, and it provides some pleasant entertainment whilst the official party is completing the formalities of signing the wedding register.
