Mixed voices in beautiful harmony.
The East Kent Chorus is Ashford’s own award winning, mixed voices, harmony Chorus. We meet every Thursday at Francis Road Community Church and practice singing modern popular songs in 4 part harmony.
Mostly our harmony style is Barbershop, but we do anything which is fun and at Christmas we love to sing Carols in more traditional 4 part harmony in Churches and Christmas parties. Every year we raise money for The Pilgrims Hospice with a Christmas Concert at Godinton Hall.
We love to hear beautiful chords ringing out from songs by popular songs writers including Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Sedaka and Leonard Cohen.
We regularly entertain at parties and events in the South East, which are great fun.
Singers at all levels are welcome to join us, from absolute beginners to good standard amateurs. There is no need to read music as we have great learning tracks and everyone is so helpful. It’s just a friendly, fun way to relax on a Thursday evening and do something really creative.
If you would like to join us or book us for your event, just phone John Jordan on 07717 011575 or email him on usdownsouth@gmail.com.

SO we are still enjoying performance...
These videos were created during lockdown by each singer sending a recording to our Musical Director. It was a fun way to sing together when we couldn’t meet in person.
You don't have to be Adele or Tom Jones to join the East Kent Chorus. We don't ask you to audition and we currently have vacancies in all our sections
