Difficult to say\, probably. They came together over 25 years ago\, a small group of friends who wanted to sing together. So two of them went to see Ros Evans\, a fellow resident of Gravel Lane and musician\, and asked for her help. ‘That was fun’\, they said\, ‘can we bring some friends?’. And so it started and so it has remained: a group of men who enjoy each others’ company. They share a wide variety of skills: farming\, teaching\, engineering\, building\, sailing – at one time four of them worked for the RNLI – but they are all communicators and between them they share 650 years of experience. And that is about the range of their repertoire : their earliest song comes from the 15th century and their latest from our own. They love their singing and they love any opportunity to inflict it on others…
