Without Repetition, Hesitation, or Deviation...

Without any more time for repetition, hesitation, or deviation, we have to let you know that our January 2020 Open Rehearsals end tomorrow evening!

So, if you have a hankering to come and look at what we do, how we do it and help us continue our first look at the songs in our April Spring Concerts that not even our established choir members have seen before, THURSDAY 30th at 7.30pm is your last chance!!!

That is not to say we will ignore you if you want to talk to us later...   ...we're too friendly a bunch to do that!!!   But we know that if your visit results in you wanting to join our chorister ranks, it's easier for you if you join us earlier in the season, rather than later!!!

After all, from February, it's heads down behind closed doors as we rehearse our song programme ready for the first concerts of our 10th Anniversary Year in April!

It's been a while (in fact, 1983) since our Fine City has been the location of John Benson announcing: "From Norwich, it's the Quiz of the Week!" and 20 million television viewers settled down on a Saturday evening to watch Anglia Television's ITV networked quiz, 'The Sale of the Century'.   Nicholas Parsons seemingly effortlessly conducted the show's proceedings over the entire 12 years it was broadcast.

He had already been seemingly effortlessly conducting proceedings since 1967, and was doing so until Autumn last year, as the host of Radio 4's excellent bit of fun 'Just A Minute!', where panellists are challenged to speak on a surprise topic for 60 seconds without repetition, hesitation, or deviation from the given subject.

It is no exaggeration to repeat that he is being described as one of the greatest entertainers and broadcasters of our time, and that the longevity of his acting and broadcasting career was second to none.  His many obituaries (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11808907) and the sources of information available about his career and achievements are fully worth reading, so we, without hesitation or deviation, recommend them to you.
