Cleeve Chorale in print

Local musician and author Peter Gill has written a book about the history of music in Cheltenham and there are several photographs and references to Cleeve Chorale in both the ‘Choirs’ and ‘Shows’ sections of the book (as we were originally a choral and dramatic society). The book, entitled ‘Cheltenham ’s Music’ is published by Sutton Publishing. Why not buy the book through our webshop - buyy.at/cleevechorale? There are several book sellers, including Amazon, that will give the choir commission if we purchase the book through them. The book covers the whole range of music and would make a great Christmas present for anyone interested in music. Peter's own website is http://www.petegill.com/home.htm
