The Ta Das Choir

Saturday 14:00 - 14:30

Small Strings Stage

‘Take a drink and sing' - wine is integral to our singing, as is the fine company of friends.
Started just over 4 years ago in April 2022 and based in Mortimer, the Ta-das are maturing nicely together to create a distinctive vintage: cool and crisp like a good chablis; fresh and fruity like a Pinot and bubbly and elegant like fine champagne. We sing an eclectic mixture of songs and we are an eclectic group of women who could probably - if given the chance - run a small country with the array of talents in the room. But it is singing that brings us together - not world domination. Not yet anyway.
