What we’ve done

Full Circle Vocal Group likes to be involved in as much as possible, including raising money for charity. In the past few years we have:

  • Performed at ChoirBlast and Guilfest festivals
  • Sung during the wedding ceremony of the wonderful Matt and Rebecca Blair in Cranleigh
  • Welcomed Anu Omideyi – choir director and manager of the award winning London gospel choir, The Reapers Choir, for a full session workshop. Anu is highly experienced at vocal training including blending and bringing out the best in individuals and groups. She was full of warmth, vibrancy and passion for gospel music and we had an unforgettable evening
  • Sung at the large-scale Time To Remember concert on Farnham’s historical Castle Street, to commemorate the first two minute silence held in Farnham in May 1916
  • Made a promo music video with our friends at Rock & Roll Experience
  • Had guest musicians in to run sessions, including Swingle Singer Clare Wheeler, Dan Cooper and Jen Giles
  • Sung the chorus of Sky High, for a local music producer for his new track, mixed in LA
  • Regularly sung at pubs across Farnham at Vic Cracknell’s open mic nights
  • Sung (to the flamingos) at Birdworld at their Christmas Winter Wonderland
  • Annually sung at the Farnham Maltings‘ Christmas Fair
  • Collaborated on a song with some singers from The Bourne Church
  • Sung an original song Unmoor The Boat by composer Michael Heath, who has since written a song dedicated to Full Circle Vocal Group
