The Argus Singers is a mixed voice (SATB) choir of around 30 singers based in Chester-le-Street, Co. Durham. Our singers come from across the North East (from Morpeth down to Harrogate). We rehearse fortnightly on Saturday afternoons from 2pm-4.30pm: normally at ‘Cornerstones’, Chester-le-Street Methodist Church.
We have a varied repertoire including sacred choral music, folk songs, spirituals, jazz, swing and pop arrangements: with of course seasonal Christmas music too.
We sing in 4 part harmony - it can be hard work, but we get a real buzz from creating a sound we are proud of.

We are actively seeking new singers - especially additional tenors and basses. For further information look at our join us page.
We give a range of 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’.
