I love singing - I always have. My brother and I always sang in the car, and were in choirs as kids...I don't really ever remember NOT singing. There was a period in high school when we were both in band and it was not terribly cool to be in band AND be able to sing...you had to pick one or the other.
Thankfully, college didn't have that restriction. Fairly early on my music theory professor frog-marched several of us to the early music vocal group, assuring us that it wasn't really a choir, more a group of music geeks singing and then going to the pub.
I knew I had to find a choir when I moved here, to give myself a non-work anchor, and I was really lucky that I ended up with the Bury Bach Choir.
We're currently looking for new members, in all voices. Can you sing? Can you read music (sight-reading isn't necessary)? Do you want to come and sing? It's fun - we rehearse once a week (more, the week of the concert), and give 4 concerts a year. There is truly nothing like singing with a choir.
Even Eric Whitacre thinks British choirs are the best...
If you're interested, check out the contact details here, on our website, or email me.

My whole family sings - but we are already fixed up for choirs - and my husband, who you have met, sings for so many I have lost count, frequently as a soloist. I would hate to not have a choir nearby, I would miss it dreadfully.
I would be interested to know what your thoughts on your choirmaster are, but perhaps not on here...
