CMVC flies with Swifts in Essex
Croydon MVC delighted a packed Essex audience when it shared a concert with the Swift Singers ladies’ choir in South Woodham Ferrers on Saturday April 28. The Croydon men and Essex women sang separate programmes of four numbers each and then formed a 100-plus choir onstage to end the concert with a rousing rendition of The Rhythm of Life.

Choir Midlands tour - best ever?
The Croydon choir has returned from a three-day tour of the Midlands which some members are acclaiming as the best ever.
The choir sang in four venues that ranged, as one member put it, from the sublime to the near-ridiculous. The sublime was Coventry Cathedral where the choir held a lunch-time audience entranced with a performance of religious songs on Friday May 31. The songs ranged from Deus Salutis to Battle Hymn of the Republic, the final notes reverberating in the 100-ft high nave long after the choir finished singing.
