Guernsey Glee Singers is a dynamic mixed voice choir, ranging from experienced singers through to novices. It is not necessary to read music as techniques are taught in parallel with the repertoire each week. The choir was founded by Miss A A Noel in 1927 as a ladies choir. The choir included a male section in 1931 and at that stage had grown to forty voices. The Glees perform a wide variety of music from classics to new music by living composers. —
