Boscombe
Songster Brigade was formed in 1906 and has participated on a weekly
basis ever since. Their mission is to present the Gospel message
in a clear and attractive way.
The Songsters currently perform a repertoire spanning a large range
of styles - these include contemporary Christian music, gospel,
classical, choral, and traditional hymns and music especially reproduced
for them by Darren (to purchase music by Darren Bartlett click
here).
Currently this group consists of approximately 50 members, all from
many different areas of employment including, information technology,
design, commerce, nursing and teaching staff. Their ages range from
early teens to 80+ and include individuals still in education and
some retired personnel who are enjoying their retirement and yet
still have a keen interest in being active within their place of
worship.
All members are Salvationist volunteers who are passionate about
their singing and have a fervent desire to communicate the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Darren
Bartlett is the current leader (Musical Director), who until
January 2006 was a member of the International Staff Songsters (ISS).
Darren is highly regarded as a top quality vocalist and composer/arranger
of music. You can download the order form for his latest CD - 'Believe'
