Joy of Christmas

MIXED choir Sheeanyn Millish is recording a CD of Christmas music.
The choir was established in 1992 when asked to sing at a wedding. The first men joined it in 1999.

Today the group — which rehearses at Port St Mary Baptist Church — includes sopranos Carole Coole, Pam Bell-Scott, Jane Cain, Barbara Kniveton, Joan Parker and Jean Callister; altos Sue Maddrell, Judy Sille, Iris Belshaw, Mary Gulland; tenors Charles Crossley, John Binns and Sue Bowes and basses John Qualtrough, Derek Allen and Phil Woodford.

A number of Christmas carols were recorded for the CD this month at St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Port St Mary.

Other tracks are to be added soon and the idea is to release the CD in time for Christmas 2006.

Mr Woodford said: ‘The CD will be mainly Christmas music from this year’s programme with a sprinkling of light pieces such as Flying Free and As Long as I Have Music.

‘We try to include some pieces by our favourite American composers Don Besig and Nancy Price, whose style seems to suit our group.’
