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!
