More than just a Choir………

The Kentwood Show Choir is like no other choir you will ever have seen before! Led by the inimitable Sheila Harrod, and accompanied by a trio of excellent musicians, the Choir delivers songs from its vast repertoire with energy, passion ,movement and style.

From blues to ballads, showstoppers to swing, and classics to chart toppers, the Choir creates a sound that can take your breath away. Then one of the many talented soloists will step forward to deliver a performance that would take some beating on the West End stage. Many of the songs featured have been specially arranged for Kentwood by both local and nationally acclaimed musicians, including top West End musical director Paul Maguire and ex-Kings singer Bob Chilcott.

From humble beginnings in 1964, Kentwood has progressed to becoming one of the country’s leading show choirs. They have performed in Germany, Austria, California, Poland, Romania, Ireland and Spain. Through its concert programme, the Choir has helped raise over £1million for local and national charities. Kentwood’s Annual Show at Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre is a true extravaganza, with professional lighting design, sound and choreography combining to produce sell-out runs which regularly receive rave press reviews.

In recent years, performances have been given in Guildford Cathedral, Salisbury Cathedral, The Great Hall in St Barts, London, Theatre Royal, Windsor and the Royal Albert Hall (with Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth). National television appearance include Bob says Opportunity Knocks, Noel’s House Party and Songs of Praise.

All singers receive regular musical tuition from Kentwood’s founder and leader, Sheila Harrod, and the choir has recently benefited from voice workshops given by top vocal coach Gillyanne Kayes and composer and conductor Bob Chilcott.
