MUSICAL DIRECTOR:

Alex Patterson was born in 1988 and grew up on a farm nestled in the Mourne Mountains in the County Down countryside just outside Newcastle in Northern Ireland. He attended Down High School and was a member of the chamber choir who premiered three of his early Christmas Carols in Down Cathedral, Downpatrick. As a keen choral singer, Alex was also a member of the Ulster Youth Choir and Ulster Youth Chamber Choir, taking part in several BBC concerts including the Last Night of the Proms in 2006......Read Full Details

At a social event following a concert by the Radcliffe Male Voice Choir in May 1991, a sing-song took place. Many wives who were present sang with such enthusiasm that it was suggested by the Guest Artist, Roslyn Griffith, that perhaps Radcliffe had enough talent for the formation of a Ladies Choir.

Vivienne Havery (our current Chairman) approached Pauline Howarth, wife of Richard Howarth, the Conductor of Radcliffe on Trent Male Voice Choir, and a singer & musician herself, who agreed to lead a Ladies Choir if sufficient ladies were interested.

Our Choir Motto: "Friendship through Singing"
