"I don’t sing because I’m happy...... I’m happy because I sing.” William James
Milltown Singers in 2021 and 2021
Like all choirs we are at last back together singing. But we didn't waste 2020 and 2021; our brilliant musical director, Mike Horth taught us a long list of new songs on Zoom and during the summer of 2020 many of us recorded from our own living rooms a relaxed version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and in December we recorded Somewhere in My Memory from Home Alone and you can hear us if you click on the link above.
So, we all have everything crossed that in 2022 we can return to our normal programme, recording songs in Woodworm Studios in Barford St Michael, our Summer concert at Chasewell Hall and our day long workshop which is open to all comers.
About us
Milltown Singers is a mixed ability singing group which started out at The Mill in Banbury around 1998.
We meet between 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm each Thursday in term time at:
The Chasewell Community Centre
Avocet Way
Cherwell Heights
Banbury
OX16 9YA
Our aim is to provide a weekly session of singing for people who may or may not be able to read music, but who like to learn and sing music from different genres, without pressure and in a relaxed atmosphere.
Our Musical Director
Over the years the choir has gained hugely in popularity and today we have over 120 members. We are extremely lucky to have our fantastic musical director, Mike Horth who took over Miltown Singers in 2012. Mike supplies all our backing tracks and rehearsal tracks so that we can rehearse and learn in our own time at home. Take a look at the 'About' page to learn more about Mike.
Milltown events
We have concerts in the summer and at Christmas and each summer we record three songs at Woodworm Studios. In August each year we also run a very popular day long workshop which is open to all comers.
