ECS Singers - an inclusive community choir!
ECS is a choir made up of 40 sopranos, 30 altos, 10 basses and 10 tenors and has musical team which include leader, Simon Thompson, assistant Tim Heywood, accompanists Mike Beard and Louise Strickland. In addition, for concerts, they are joined by Ian Abbot and Martin Roscoe (guitar) and Paul Mountain (drums).
Our most recent concert at St Luke's was agreat success and raised £555 for Autism East Midlands and £600 for Walking Notts.

Rehearsals
We attract 70 singers each week and have a nice balance between a warm-up, songs we know well, new songs and a very short break. Lou leads a pre-rehearsal with altos and Mike works with the men from 7.15-7.45pm. The full rehearsal starts at 7.45pm.
Social
We have three social events, one in each term, at restaurants and bars. We have an annual residential trip. This year it was Bakewell and next year Retford. We also perform on the singing train - a trip to Cromford is planned in May 2018.
Uniform
Our choir have smart short sleeved blouses/shirts and optional fleecs and coats.
So we are enjoying ourselves and getting better and better!
