Celebrating the Fishpond Choir’s 25th Anniversary year

The Fishpond Choir celebrated its 25th Anniversary year in style on 19th January – in the very place where the choir was originally founded, and gave it its name – the Ballroom in the Fishpond Pub, Matlock Bath.

Everyone turned out for a lovely meal and a glass or two of prosecco, followed in true Fishpond Choir style by a cabaret of fun musical acts put on by different members of the choir.
