Hire us

Crouch End Festival Chorus is one of the UK’s most versatile choirs, offering anything from a chamber choir to a symphony chorus of 120.  We have an unequalled range of experience in recording and performance settings, and offer a professional standard of musicianship at very competitive rates.

We provide a tailor-made choir for every engagement, and arrive musically prepared by our director, David Temple (subject only to music being supplied in advance).  David can also be engaged to conduct - which is usually the best choice, especially for recording sessions.   Choral arrangements can be prepared if required.

Fees are always negotiable, and depend mainly on the amount of time involved.  The size of the choir is not usually a significant factor.  To find out more, please contact John Mindlin at engagements@cefc.org.uk or 07989 747 532, or David Temple on 07968 821 984.

What they said …

“David Temple and the group were outstanding, more than lived up to their excellent reputation.  It was truly a highlight of the process”
Andrew Lockington, film composer

“Most fabulously, Crouch End Festival Chorus added a divine dimension to Days, Waterloo Sunset and Shangri-La (performed here live, Davies said, for the first time).  Lovely, lovely, lovely.  As the Chorus’s voices soared behind him, Ray Davies looked like a very proud man indeed.”
David Cheal, Daily Telegraph

“What stars you are!  Thank you all so much for the totally musical and thoroughly professional job you did on Thursday last week.  You made it easy for me - something which I really appreciate!  It was an enormous pleasure to work with you and credit for the success of the evening goes to you and David just as much as to anyone else.”
Simon Wright, conductor, The Music of Morse, Royal Albert Hall/Classic FM
