Watford One Voice Community Choir’s search for new leader

By Michael Pickard

A community choir hopes to raise the roof once again, as soon as
a new musical director can be found.

The Watford One Voice Community Choir, spearheaded by Mayor
Dorothy Thornhill, was formed more than two years ago.

More than 40 members rehearse once a week at the Clarendon Muse,
in Rickmansworth Road, and have previously performed for Help the
Aged, the Watford Blind Centre and at the Harrow Arts Centre.

They also sang at the Christmas Carol Service held at St Mary’s
Church, in High Street.

But committee chairman Patrick McGinn said the choir could be
forced to close if it doesn’t find a new leader within the next few
months.

“If we folded, it would be pretty disappointing for a lot of
people,” he said.
