The Argus Singers
The Argus Singers is a mixed voice choir based in Chester-le-Street,We rehearse on Saturday afternoons from 2-4.30pm, every 2nd or 3rd week, normally at ‘Cornerstones’, Chester-le-Street Methodist Church.
Our next rehearsal is on Saturday 1st October (2-4.30pm) - at Witton Gilbert Methodist Church, Sacriston Lane DH7 6TF.
We are actively seeking additional tenors and basses: if you are interested come along to the rehearsal - or get in touch via the join us page.
Our repertoire has something to suit all tastes, including sacred choral music, folk songs, spirituals, jazz swing and pop arrangements, and seasonal Christmas music. Our pieces are sung in anything up to 8 part harmony - it can be hard work, but we get a real buzz from creating a sound we can be proud of.
We draw our membership from across the North East and into Yorkshire and Lancashire too. Enquiries are always welcome from singers. We are actively seeking additional tenors and basses. We currently have a full complement of sopranos and altos, but we keep a waiting list for when opportunities open up.
You can get in touch via the join us page or come along to the next rehearsal.
New members don’t audition immediately, you get to experience singing with us before that happens.
We give concerts throughout the year, invited by local organisations or organised by ourselves. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss booking us. Or why not come to one of our concerts? They usually offer a mix of songs – we enjoy singing them all.
In the meantime, here are some sample recordings so you can get an idea of ‘the Argus Sound’.
