Whenever we hear about conducting jobs we will try to post the information here.
The residents of Lovat Fields in Milton Keynes, who have been featuring recently in the TV documentary 'Silverville', are looking for a new conductor/director for their choir.
I believe is it just one evening a week that the volunteer is required. Are you interested in helping them to keep the choir going, or do you know anyone who might be?
The choir is already a going concern. Indeed there are some good voices at the village.
You can find out more about the village by clicking here (goes to BBC website).
Or contact us and we will pass your details on to them.
