    "Hello everyone,

    I hope you are rested and recovered from last night.

    What a beautiful concert that was. Lovely focused and well tuned singing with excellent tonal variation. Flexible and highly communicative and well done for watching and listening so carefully. The unaccompanied items were absolutely lovely and you really nailed the Palestrina.

    This is what makes Hayfield Singers such a joy to conduct.

    Huge thanks to Roger again for his characterful and colourful playing, what would we do without him? Great thanks to our visiting soloists and musicians for adding that extra something. Thanks to Dave for the wonderful posters and programmes, to Mary for sorting out the music, to Norrie for ticketing, to Colin for calm financial management and to Wendy, Allan and the gang for rigging and derigging the staging. Thanks also to all other committee members who work so hard to make these concerts so special.

    I'll edit and send the recording today. I hope you all have a healthy, happy and restful Christmas and New Year."

    Welcome to the new Hayfield Singers website, built around the Making Music platform.

    You may (temporarily) see a security warning - this is a transitional issue and will disappear as soon as our security certificate is applied by Making Music, which has already been requested.

    Hopefully you will find it easy to use. Members please note that you will not be able to access the Members section (via the Members menu) until the transition is complete and you have received your login details, which will happen soon. In the meantime, please have a look round and if you have any problems, find any errors, or have any other comments or observations, please email them to .

    We thought you might be interested to see this piece in (we think) the Glossop Chronicle of 29th January 1998. Some familiar faces in the photo.
