Welcome In 1940 at the Climax Rock Drill and Engineering Works, at Pool, between Camborne and Redruth, Cornwall, two men working on the works roof saw the glow of the fires in Plymouth caused by the bombing by the Luftwaffe. To alleviate distress among the blitz victims they formed a small choir to raise funds.  Within a short time the late Edgar Kessell MBE commenced as the Musical Director, and over the years built the small group into the well respected and well know Choir it was to become. Upon the retirement of Edgar Kessell after 32 years, in 1972, George Smith successfully directed the Choir for eighteen years until his retirement in 1990, due to ill health. Roger Wills, under whose leadership the Choir has continued to grow, directed the Choir from 1990 until 2008 when he retired to follow other musical interests.  Our current Musical Director is Angela Renshaw, only the fourth MD since 1940.   Read more about the Music Director
