Armonico Consort’s singing cyclists, led by TV wine expert and former choral singer Oz Clarke, are celebrating smashing the £20,000 fundraising target for their 2026 Charity Bike Challenge. After four days in the saddle, tackling the punishing climbs of the Jurassic Coast while giving concerts and schools workshops, busking and visiting care homes, the team have banked a staggering £24,219. Hallelujah!

We are joining forces with Budleigh Salterton Male Voice Choir to celebrate the 100th year of our co-founder Pam Jones

Join our friendly choir. No auditions. No need to read music. Rehearsal tracks online. We rehearse Wednesdays 2 – 4pm during term time at St Peter’s Hall, Budleigh Salterton. Email joinus@budleighsaltertonladieschoir.org

We are delighted to welcome our new Musical Director Rachel Branston, Rachel is an amazingly talented musician and composer with over 40 years experience of directing choirs and developing voices from young to the more mature. She is also a wonderful composer and has already composed a new song especially for our choir inspired by the sea. Her first concert is “All Things Bright and Beautiful”. So put 20th May (Budleigh Salterton) and 6th June (Exmouth) in your diaries.
