The Moonlighters is a group of around a dozen amateur choral singers led by a professional musical director.
The Moonlighters formed in 1991. They won prizes at the Bedfordshire Music Festival in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002. Since then they have concentrated on perfecting their technique and increasing their repertoire. This now includes a mixture of swing and blues from the 30's 40's and 50's, traditional folk songs, spirituals, choral pieces and anything else that takes their fancy.
The present Musical Director Paul Parsons joined the Moonlighters in 2002
Born and raised in Manchester, Paul Parsons won a scholarship to Chetham's School of Music, where he studied organ, harpsichord and oboe; he went on to Cambridge, where he was organ scholar at Gonville and Caius. After a period of study with Lionel Rogg at the Geneva Conservatoire, Paul travelled the world with his career.
He currently is also involved in the Hurstingstone Singers

Due to an influx of female singers and some members personal matters The Moonlighters are temporarily short of a couple of male voices. If you are a Bass or Tenor, (or anything in between) we would love to hear from you. Please see the "join us" page for contact details.
We also would love to here from any ladies, particularly sopranos who have an interest in all kinds of choral music. Bring your favourite pieces with you and we will weave them into our repertoire!
