David Taylor - Chairman
David & his wife Pat moved to Somerset in 2009, to be near their son & daughter and four grandchildren who all live in Somerset.
David is a retired Chartered Accountant and was previously Chairman of a Construction Group based in the Home Counties & the South West. He is a keen golfer and plays with choir colleagues at Wells Golf Club. His favourite songs are Somewhere, Climb Every Mountain and all the folk songs.
His ambitions for the choir are to expand the numbers and the repertoire, which happily co-incide with those of the Musical Director. He also wants to take the Choir to new venues throughout rural Somerset and gain new members from there but above all he wants the members to enjoy their singing.
