The Fishpond Choir (a registered charity) is an open access community choir based in Matlock Bath in Derbyshire. We currently have 55 members with a wide range of musical expertise, some can read music, many can follow it. After over 20 years with our MD, we are now seeking a new MD for this SATB choir. We rehearse every Monday 7.30 - 9.30 in the music room of the Fishpond pub.  We have a wide and evolving mix of songs mostly less than 5 minutes long, with a strong tradition of African songs (from our last MD) as well international and traditional UK songs.  We also sing local carols and works by local composers.    Visit our website www.fishpondchoir.com to learn more about us.
