Richard live!
Richard Hoyle, the Croydon choir’s musical director, is to appear on local radio talking about the choir "and all things choral". Richard will be talking live on Brooklands Radio, which broadcasts to North Surrey, on Sunday February 19 at 3pm. Richard, answering questions from interviewer Cliff van Tonder in a two-hour programme, will cover the choir's past, present and future. He will publicise our forthcoming concerts, with a special mention for the Fairfield Hall massed choir concert on June 2, and will also select seven favourite recordings showing "different facets" of the choir - plus one recording by another choir.
