Although we have sixty active members, we are always looking for new members to swell our ranks and to replace the few who have to leave us for one reason or another. Many men say “I can’t sing”, but most can if they are in the company of others.
Budleigh Salterton is a small town, on the south east coast of the county of Devon, situated on the River Otter estuary with a long pebble beach. It is part of the Jurassic coastline which stretches from Exmouth to Portland Bill.
The choir was formed in 1974 under the musical direction of Pam Jones, who is now its Life President. The current director is Allen Coles, who is only the third director of the choir. As a result of active ongoing recruitment, the choir has grown from about 60 at the beginning of 2009 to 67 members as at March 2010. We sing around 12 to 15 concerts a year, all for the benefit of local and national charities, often raising at least £10,000 in a single year.
We have sung in many places as far afield as Holland, and from Cornwall and Wales in the west to Broadstairs in the east. However most of our concerts are in the towns and villages of Devon, including performances at the Sidmouth Folk Festival and Budleigh Salterton Festival of Music.
The Choir is looking forward to the visit by Wagga Wagga Rugby Club Male Choir (yes, all the way from Australia!) in September. There will be a special concert on 22 September in for the benefit of Budleigh Salterton’s own museum, The Fairlynch Museum.
