Comments made following a concert given in Chitterne in June 2024 in aid of 'The Friends of Erlestoke Prison' which raised £2,500.
"Thank you so much for a most enjoyable evening. Please extend our thanks and appreciation to all of the excellent Farrant singers and Philip Lawson.
We so enjoyed it."
"Another lovely concert given by the very talented Farrant Singers Choir. It was a super varied programme too. Great arrangements by Andrew Mackay and Philip Lawson."
"Just to say how much Andrew and I (and our Codford friend) enjoyed the Farrant singers last night. Thank you for a terrific concert – I especially enjoyed the Harris (which I know) and the final fishy calypso (which I didn’t). It was lovely too to have the words of the songs in the programme – I wish more choirs did that."
"Captivating performance last evening"
​
"The Farrant Singers, based in Salisbury, are widely recognised as one of the most articulate and eloquent chamber ensembles in England." (Review in The Church Times 20 June 2022)
"If, next Christmas, you are looking for an experience to get you in the Christmas spirit then I recommend The Farrant Singers' annual Christmas concert in the lovely setting of St. Martin's Church...............So, when you write your Christmas list next year, I suggest that you put 'Tickets for the Farrant Singers' Christmas Concert' at the top." (Salisbury BID)
"The Farrants’ go-ahead new regime looks to be a winner." (Church Times)
​
"The Brahms concert was superlative... The choir sang with great commitment, passion and sensitivity." (a Farrant Patron)
​
"As a choir they go from strength to strength and Salisbury is lucky to have them." (Salisbury Journal)
​
"The Farrant Singers are fast becoming one of Salisbury’s best choirs. If you haven’t heard them yet, you should definitely get to their next concert." (Salisbury Journal)
​
"From the first trump of the inimitable Parry, via the stunningly beautiful Victoria and the effortlessly scaled heights of the Allegri, to the triumphant Vaughan Williams, it was a complete delight from start to finish." (Audience member)
