JUNE 10 marked the final occasion on which Little Hereford Voices Community Choir was led by their current director of music, John Turrell.

John has been making music all his life. From his school days in Worcester as a chorister to singing as an adult in many groups, choral societies and auditioned choirs. After retiring from teaching he has given his time as conductor/musical director of local choirs.

The past five years have seen John lead the choir with both enthusiasm and patience, encouraging and enabling them to perform at least two concerts ever year as well as singing at carol services, weddings and charity events.

John will be greatly missed and will always be remembered with affection and gratitude.

The choir will continue, on September 9 in Little Hereford Hall under the leadership of Kimee Cleaton the new musical director.

If you enjoy singing, your are invited to join in at 7.30pm.
