Our latest choir lead is Amy Chalmers.  Amy is a talented musician and accompanies many artists and is one part of the Two Black Sheep duo.  Amy has lots of choir experience and leads Over The Water with her brother Matt.  Amy has led our choir for many years now, initially as a parent and now as a part time role with Mrs Montgomery and other staff supporting.

Upto summer 2017, Linton Stephens was our choir lead.  Linton is a talented bassoonist and currently presents a programme called 'Classical Fix' on BBC Radio 3.
