A VARIETY of uplifting songs and a medley were performed by Nextstage choirs of St Albans and Marlow at a theatre in Barnet before Christmas.

Led by Russell Scott, the songs ranged from the traditional First Noel to a James Bond medley and through to Fairytale of New York and Hallelujah.

Nextstage choirs are now in their second year and aimed at anyone who loves singing and has ever wondered what it might be like to join a choir. The age range is from 16 to 90 and it is not necessary to read music

The new term begins early this month and further details can be found at www.nextstagedrama.co.uk or telephone 01628 898958.
