The Choir was started in January 2010 and was initially called Broadstairs Gospel Choir. The choir changed its name to Thanet Community Gospel Choir in 2011. We seek to attract members from across the community and we chose a name that would reflect the inclusive nature of our membership. We are a growing choir and keen to attract new members.
