WHO'S WHO
Tracey Hansford - Musical Director
Cheltenham born soprano Tracey Hansford completed a Music Degree in Bath specialising in performance in 1994. Tracey enjoys a varied repertoire of recital and oratorio in the local area. Tracey is currently singing with Operaletta, a Bath Opera group and regularly performs with Ad Lib who are an 8-piece barbershop group. Tracey runs a successful teaching practise both in Wells and Bristol and is also musical director of Cantabile who are a ladies choir based in Wells.This is her second year as Musical Director of the Glastonbury Male Voice Choir
Dave Greenwood - Chairman
Dave lives in Wells with wife Di and has two grown-up children living in Bath. A retired pharmacist, Dave came to Somerset in 1976 and started his practice in Glastonbury. He joined GMVC eleven years ago so still a comparative "new boy". Favourite songs from the choir repertoire, Speed your journey, Rhythm of life, When the saints and Morte Christe. Aim as chairman is to give the choir a greater public profile, by singing a wider spectrum of music and appealing to more singers and a wider audience. If I can increase both audiences and membership by 10% I will be well pleased, more would be even better.
