For many years music has echoed through the large spaces of the building, and is valued by clergy and congregation alike - but now a revival of membership is needed in the choir stalls.   From Remembrance Sunday to the Civic Service for Mayor and Town Council, the choir has contributed to the life of the town as well as that of the church and its community.    The Christmas Carol service is a much anticipated event each year, with a packed congregation taking part and joining in with the traditional carols.

Owing to some recent retirements from the choir, we urgently seek new members - treble/soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.   (Please see the Membership menu above for details of how to join.   You can be assured of a warm welcome.)

In addition to the liturgical music programme, the church is used as a concert venue by a number of orchestras and choirs based in the locality, and from further afield.    It is also the venue for a well-established annual series of lunchtime concerts, organised by the Friends of St Andrew's on behalf of the music team - proceeds being used to benefit projects in connection with St Andrew's Church - which is entitled 'Music Unlimited'. Each year's schedule of concerts is published here and on the church's main website in the spring.  Music is also performed at the nearby Chapel of Ease in the villageof Tytherton Lucas, which is within St Andrew's Parish.
