Following our successful debut at the Broadstairs Blues Bash in February, we're now focussing on building our repertoire. This is a great time for new members to join the choir. We will be focusing our attention on songs that involve the full choir and don't require solo singers. Also, in the interest of making our repertoire more balanced, we'll be learning more secular songs.
What's in a name?
When the Fisk Jubilee Singers were formed in America in 1871, their aim was to bring Spirituals and Gospel music to a wider audience. This is also our aim and so it seemed sensible to adopt that name for our choir. Since 2010 we were called: Thanet Community Gospel Choir. A long name that people frequently got wrong. Also, we want to establish our identity as a performing group. We're very proud to perform Christian songs but we also perform plenty of secular music. We're inspired by the roots of Gospel music and the branches. All of our music has the common aim to be uplifting and inspiring. This is the principle that guides Thanet Jubilee Singers.
