The core repertoire of The Village Quire is West Gallery music but with forays into other related styles of folk polyphony from time to time, singing without instrumental accompaniment.
We sing 'three-to-a-part' SATB like so many of the 18th century village quires. However, we don't sing in costume but often include readings intended to set the music in a social and historical context.
Our concerts are typically for church and chapel fundraising events, village feast days, beer festivals, folk clubs … and one reception for the Archbishop of Canterbury!

Archbishops On Thursday, 28 May 2009, we were delighted to entertain Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury during his visit to the Hay Festival. |
Our first gig  On 6 June, we took our Good Old Way show to St Faith's Dorstone. Brian Webber, a big supporter of the quire, travelled all the way from Swansea to see and record it. Hear some samples… |
Charity work  In our first year we raised over £2000 for charities, including Wales Air Ambulance and Macmillan Nurses. |
