It may seem early to be thinking about Christmas but members of the Stanchester Quire will resume meeting at the David Hall in South Petherton next week to learn carols and songs.
The festive songs have either been collected from, or written about, the South-West of England, with several originating within a 20-mile radius of South Petherton. They will be performed at a series of Christmas concerts.
The choir welcomes new members and it is not necessary to pass an audition or read music, as everything is learnt by ear.
The Stanchester Quire is led by musical director Eddie Upton, holder of the English Folk Dance and Song Society gold badge for services to folk music.
The choir is meeting at the David Hall in Roundwell Street, South Petherton (TA13 5AA) on Monday 5 September at 7.30pm. The first two weeks are free to new members.
