We are a mixed voice choir of around 40 singers, based in Chester-le-Street. Our singers come from across the North East (some even travelling from Yorkshire and Lancashire).
We rehearse on Saturday afternoons from 2-4.30pm, every 2nd or 3rd week: normally at ‘Cornerstones’, Chester-le-Street Methodist Church.
We have a varied repertoire with something to please all tastes. This includes sacred choral music, folk songs, spirituals, jazz, swing and pop arrangements: with of course seasonal Christmas music too.
We sing in anything up to 8 part harmony - it can be hard work, but we get a real buzz from creating a sound we are proud of.
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’.

We are actively seeking new members so enquiries are always welcome.
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 in a couple of rehearsals before that happens.
