Hi Apples and Chorleyans So I messed up! When you believe (Prince of Egypt) in the Members' Area, is a totally different song to the one we learned in Covid. So please, get rid of your old music if you still have it, and print off the choir score for WHEN YOU BELIEVE (Prince of Egypt). Thanks Andrew x Magic Voices 3 Alder Grove, Chapel En Le Frith United Kingdom

Hi Apples Thanks for a super session this week - you are sounding fantastic right now! AND we finished the new songs!

Hi Apples and Maccers! I'm writing to you about a wonderful concert opportunity for you all next summer! Some of you may have seen a mysterious entry on the website's concerts page - "A Night at the Musicals - Wythenshawe Forum" on Saturday 5th June. Yes folks, this is a joint concert, not just for Macc and Appleton, but also combining with Ged's two choirs at Cheadle and Congleton. This will be a MASSIVE event, which will be conducted by us both, accompanied by a live band!

Hi Apples Thanks for a really uplifting session this week, and a big welcome to all new joiners - you are settling in brilliantly! You will find music to print off or download in the Members' Area on the website, plus all tracks for every song. Please use the full choir score, as it is much easier to follow than just your own part. And it is really useful to bring something to write with to the sessions, for correcting the odd typo and writing in my numerous ramblings! The pr

Hi Apples Well, that was a fun first session back! All those songs - some remembered, some, ahem, not quite! Well done for struggling through with "bank holiday numbers"! As ever, next week we will be welcoming tasters to choir, so please be your usual wonderful, charming, well-behaved selves! I will try to place tasters next to "well established" members, so please, if you see them struggling with the score, do give them a hand, as we all know how confusing it can be the fir

Welcome back to choir, Apples! I hope you have all had a lovely summer, and some relaxing and joyful holidays. Our first week back will be a little different next week. Because it's a bank holiday, we won't be welcoming tasters until the following week. So I thought we would have a little "retrospective" on a few Magic Voices classics from the past which some of you have said you would like to sing again. We will just be having a good old singsong to get your vocal chords bac
