On December 6th 2022, five friends with a love of music got together and decided to start a singing group, they called it The Melody Makers, they wanted the group to be open to everyone, with the focus being on enjoying music and having fun and raising money for charity along the way.
At that time the original five members, Shirley, Dave, Val, Janine and Hazel had no idea if the idea would take off, but after much time and effort, their hard work paid off. In just over 18 months they could never have imagined what a success it would be, now with 40 plus members and still growing the singing group has gone from strength to strength and had amazing success along the way. Four of the original 5 members are still very active in the group, in fact Dave is now the musical director, with Shirley being chairperson and Val and Janine are valued members of the committee along with being volunteered for other roles too!!!
All members of the singing group are truly valued and many friendships have been forged in the last 18 months. Melody Makers Singing Group is now a mixed, international singing group, including members from Norway, France, Sweden, Ireland, Holland, England, to name but a few. In the past year they have performed at many events raising nearly €1000.00 for local charities. They even were privileged to sing at a Norwegian Confirmation event and to join the Costa Blanca International band on stage at a musical extravaganza focusing on music from the movies.
They already have lots of events booked for Christmas carol concerts, so December looks like it is going to be a busy month, there are also several charity events booked in the run up to December. If you are interested in joining this fun singing group, they rehearse every Tuesday, 2-4pm at Lakeview bar and restaurant, 16 Calle Toledo, Quesada, no audition necessary, just come along and have a chat and see what we do. They restart rehearsals after the summer break on Tuesday 3rd September, at 2pm, you will be made very welcome.
