It meets for choir practice at 7.30pm Thursday evenings and leads the congregation in singing at church services. The Choir Leader and Organist is Robert Ferris.

Each year the choir organises an annual outing to the theatre or a musical.  They also hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) every February.  The first AGM was held at the Whitehead Church on 4 February 1993. Click here to view a PDF of the 1993 AGM Minutes.

One of the choir members, Hannah Copes (pictured on the left), not only sings, but also plays the trumpet beautifully. She is currently studying music at Queen’s University, Belfast.
