Welcome to Mill End Voices

Mill End Voices is an adult mixed choir that meets once or twice a month. No membership or previous experience is necessary, although an ability to read music would be an advantage in our sometimes fast-paced rehearsals.

The choir is a not-for-profit organisation which raises money for the High Wycombe Music Centre PTA.

We aim to rehearse on the 2nd Sunday of every month (half terms and school holidays permitting; see our calendar for dates) at the High Wycombe Music Centre in Room 11 (click for parking information or directions to Room 11).

The choir is directed by Patrick Gazard and many of our arrangements are written by Patrick, as well as our Chair, Simon Harrison, with an emphasis on film and musical theatre songs, but also covering light classical and pop music.

Coronavirus

Mill End Voices is resuming regular rehearsals from September 2021.

MEV’s very own Superhero

Sop 2, Lizzi Wallace, is not only famous for her amazing vocal cords, but now also for her life-giving blood plasma, having donated a record 12 times!

Believed to be the most prolific female Coronavirus blood plasma donor in the UK, Lizzi has been described by Professor Mike Murphy, Consultant Haematologist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as an absolute superhero. We couldn’t agree more and are so proud of our fab soprano.

MEV's First Virtual Performance

Watch our first virtual performance, an arrangement of With A Little Help From My Friends.

End of Year Reflection

It’s been a jam-packed summer term for us here at Mill End Voices. For a choir that only rehearses once a month, we really have managed to fit a lot in...

MEV Performance at Wycombe Abbey School

On Friday 29th March, Mill End Voices were delighted to take part in the High Wycombe Music Centre Senior Concert at Wycombe Abbey School.

MEV are no strangers to the High Wycombe Music Centre gala concerts, having featured in the programme for the annual Wycombe Swan Theatre concert for several years. This year marked the first time the concert was held in the Archer Recital Hall, in the beautiful surroundings of Wycombe Abbey School.

Performance at Hughenden Gardens Retirement Village

In February, Mill End Voices performed for the residents and their guests at Hughenden Gardens Retirement Village. We are lucky enough to count one of their residents as a choir member, and were all excited about our first performance at the Village.

Singing a mixture of much-loved classics as well as newer songs from our repertoire, we hoped that the residents at the Village would feel entertained and energised by our performance. Indeed, an article published in their newsletter following the concert says, "...wonderful songs...proved a delight to listen to...".

Mill End Voices Performs at The Royal Albert Hall

On Sunday 1st July 2018, Mill End Voices performed in a spectacular event at The Royal Albert Hall, as part of Buckinghamshire Music Trust’s Celebration Concert. Singing two well-loved songs, This is Me from the Greatest Showman and Big Apple Mack, a mash-up of two fabulous swing numbers, choir members were “delighted” and “excited” by performing in such a stunning auditorium where the world’s stars have performed. The evening culminated in a massed finale involving hundreds of performers of all ages.
