ALCESTER Male Voice Choir is to be sponsored for a fourth year by Henley in Arden bus and coach company Johnsons Coaches.

During the next year the choir will be using Johnsons coaches to take them to the various venues including the Festival of Male Voice Choirs at the Royal Albert Hall this autumn, Johnsons customers’ new brochure launch at the West Midlands Safari Park in spring and to St George's Chapel Windsor where they will be performing in the summer.

John Johnson, director of Johnsons Coach & Bus, said: "We are very selective with our sponsorship but we have always been very impressed with the Alcester Male Voice Choir, under the guidance of their Director of Music, Judith Land they turn in impressive performances time after time and like us they work extremely hard to deliver performances of the very highest standards.

“I believe the arrangement is and has been good for both organisations with significant benefits all round. The profile of the choir and its audiences are a natural fit with the profile of our own customers, so we are delighted to support the choir for another year.”

Judith Land, choir founder of the choir and director of music, said: "We are once again very grateful to Johnsons, like them we have an excellent reputation and it is important to us that we team up with a quality organisation that always strives to be the best that they can be in their field and with Johnsons that is certainly the case."
