A choir from Medway, Kent
Welcome to the website of Rainham Ladies, a choir established in 1958 and making music ever since.
We are a friendly and enthusiastic bunch of ladies who share a love of singing. We perform a wide range of music from early madrigals to more modern songs from stage and screen. See the "Repertoire" page for more information about what we sing. Over its 60+ year history, the choir has performed in venues from local schools and churches to Rochester Cathedral, Cobham Hall and the Central Hall, Westminster. Since 2009, we have taken part a number of times in the Festival of Brass and voices at the Albert Hall, with 1,000 other singers and top-class brass bands.
Last year, we said goodbye to our Musical Director Simon Tatnall and our accompanist Janet Stone, both of whom had been with us for many years. We were sad to see both of them go but wish them well for the future; Simon in his new home in East Anglia and Janet as she takes the opportunity to relax (particularly on Monday evenings!) and pursue her many interests. There are pictures on the "Gallery" page of the mini concert at which we thanked them both and celebrated their time with the choir
This year, a new MD, Alex Waterman, has joined us and we look forward to working with her over the coming months and (we hope) years. Watch this space!
We welcome new members so, if you share our enthusiasm for singing together in harmony, please join us. We also welcome opportunities to perform in concerts or other events. More details can be found on the "Join us" and “Contacts” pages.
