So all you budding in-the-shower singers or in-car crooners, come along to our recruitment night in Polperro Methodist Chapel on the 25th of June at 7.30pm and give it a go! It will be during our normal rehearsal night so it will be very informal with no audition, and you can be assured of a warm welcome. Afterwards, you can join the Wreckers having a pint and a singalong nearby! All abilities are welcome and there's no need to read music. You just need a passion for singing!
