The Spring was Buzzing with Singers
The Bodmin Way Community Choir, established in Autumn 2022, flourished again this Spring, providing singing and enjoyment for all ages and abilities during March and April. With songs ranging from The Beatles ‘All you Need is Love’ and Coldplays ‘Fix You’, to some Celtic folk-inspired Spring & Easter themed songs, the enthusiastic singers took everything in their stride! They have also been working on an original song by the choir’s director, which the choir perform beautifully.
Spring Performance!
Come and hear Bodmin Way Community Choir sing at Bodmin Town’s Market on Mount Folly on Saturday 27th April from 11-11.30am. We’ll be there singing our hearts out, and then enjoying the market – hopefully in the sunshine!

Summer 2023
Summer Singing had begun.
The sun shone for our first two sessions and summer dresses were worn!
It was a pleasure to welcome new singers to the group.
Young people who attain choir and SPY Network had a sailing weekend at the end of June. We sang our choir songs as our boats sailed side by side with the ocean as our audiance!
Summer Singing continued. We rehearsed 'Walking on Sunshine', 'Summertime', 'Who will Buy?' and 'Let's Go Fly a Kite'.
The choir performed on Mount Folly at Bodmin Town's market on Saturday 29 July - singing as you shop!
