2 gigs down already and more to go!

Thanks to everyone who joined in with our September and early October gigs. Our St G’s event – and then the combined choirs concert in Waterloo went so well!

We’ve already got some gigs in the diary for December, so you can probably take an educated guess what we’re about to start rehearsing after half term!

Thanks so much for your support as always :)

Choir is back – in a new venue

After our sojourn in the crypt at St Giles’, CCC is back above ground in St Giles’ (small) Parish Hall! Here’s a maps link to our new home:

It’s fair to say that the hall needs… work. But we’ve received some financial support from Southwark Council and the Friends of St Giles’ Charity to make the hall nicer with new flooring, lighting and decorating. It’ll take a while – but we’ll get there! See you at a rehearsal soon!

Year end round-up

As usual, we had such a busy end to the year! Thanks to everyone who sang and performed at a gig – it’s been so much fun!

After our rock band supporting gig in November, we went ‘trad’ in December and sang carols at Camberwell Indoor Arts market which went so well. Some us also ended up singing at the Old Vic as part of the 12 Choirs of Christmas project. We must be one of the the only choirs to have performed live on stage at both the Young Vic and the Old Vic!

Next up was Carols round Camberwell, this year starting at Oval Tube station. With Lyndhurst Primary School choirs – we raised over £1340 which is an amazing achievement! The money has gone to Thames Reach, a charity that works with homeless Londoners.

Finally – many of us sang at St Giles’ ‘Carols by Candlelight’ service. It was standing room only in the church and we sang some tricky music that professional, full-time choirs might have thought twice about performing! But we did so well and it was an amazing way to end our festive season singing!

Choir will be back – we’ll keep you posted… we may have to temporarily move rehearsal locations due to an issue with the St Giles’ Centre Hall. But in the meantime, have a fabulous start to 2026!
