West Norfolk Singers rehearsing at Heacham Methodist Church April 2024

Welcome to the West Norfolk Singers Hunstanton Community Day 2025 We were represented at this event in Hunstanton Town Hall where a number of potential singers expressed an interest in joining our group. We welcome them if they would like to join us one Wednesday evening. Here we were represented by our Musical Director, accompanist and a number of our Singers at the event. Like many towns and villages, Heacham has a long history of choral singing and there was certainly a Heacham Choral Society in the past. Evidence exists that there were at least five choirs in the late 1940s and early 1950s and some of these participated in the Hunstanton Festival of Arts in the early 1950s. Original minutes exist from 1983 for The Heacham & West Norfolk Singers . However, more recently, this name was changed to The West Norfolk Singers to reflect the wider area of membership of the choir. Rehearsals are held from September to May on Wednesday evenings from 19.15 to 21.15 at Heacham Methodist Church in Station Road. Concerts are performed at Christmas and also in the Spring, usually in local churches, as these venues are the most suitable. All proceeds are split equally between the church and the choir, raising many thousands of pounds over the years. The mix of music sung encompasses both sacred and secular, with some old favourites but frequently introducing something new to challenge both members and audiences alike. Membership currently stands around 26, with a good balance of male and female voices. For more information contact us at chair@westnorfolksingers.org.uk Just so you know, our new logo consists of not just our name but also the music of "Grandfather Clock" written by our former Accompanist, William Moss and has been performed by the Singers.

NEW MUSICAL DIRECTOR Our previous Musical Director, Jean Hornbuckle, decided that it was time that she retired after the end of our Summer season of concerts in July 2025. Loc-Mai Yuen who was our accompanist under Jean has now taken over as Musical Director and Accompanist. Information about Loc-Mai is included on the "Musical Director and Accompanist" page of this website soon. We are all very excited about the future and with the number of Singers continuing to rise, the future looks rosie!
