It was our best ever year performing at the Broadstairs Blues Bash in February. We're booked again for next year's event on 21st February 2027 and really looking forward to that! We also had a great time busking until dusk at the Ramsgate Festival of Sound. Now's a great time to join the choir as we start preparations for our Charity Christmas Singalong Performances. This was very successful in 2025 and we raised over £850 for Porchlight. We plan to support them again this year and, if you wish to book us for this event, we'd love to hear from you.

Rehearsals resumed on 3rd September. There will be no rehearsals on 22nd and 29th October and the last rehearsal of 2026 will be on 10th December. We're always looking for more singers and musicians to join us. We also want to hear from anyone interested in booking our choir. Just come along to rehearsals or contact  us.

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 seems a good name for our choir. Originally 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're not a religious group. 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.
