St James's Players
The group has to strike a balance between 'making a joyful noise unto the Lord' and providing an acceptable accompaniment for the congregation. It has a repertoire of about ninety religious songs and hymns and thirty meditative pieces and playouts. It accompanies the hymns during the All Age Service and plays quiet music before the service, processional music at the end and anything else that needs playing. It has supported the music in some special services, such as the Carol Services and Confirmations. For some members this is their only opportunity to make music in a group and the fellowship engendered cannot be underplayed. There is a run-through half an hour before each All Age Service. The limited rehearsal time and the need to be ready with the right hymn at the right time in the right key develop useful transferable skills!
