6th December: A Christmas Concert with the Band of the Island of Jersey was cancelled due to COVID.

The choir sang at the wedding of Aaron and Lydia on Saturday 4th December 2021 at the Our Lady of the Annunciation Church in St Martin (Roman Catholic Church). We sang My Love is like a red, red rose (Robert Burns/ Donald Cashmore), an Irish Blessing (Bob Chilcott), Panis Angelicus and the hymn Jerusalem.

The Advent Concert on Thursday 2nd December at St Helier Methodist Centre in aid of Kairos Arts was a great success. The choir worked with Jonny Scott, Cathy Sara, Grace Garnier and Bouons Bassoon to produce a varied evening of entertainment which in turn raised a considerable sum to assist the work of Kairos Arts (which has gone on despite the pandemic).
