I am a lover of life, the world and people, with interests particularly in choral music from the Caucasian country of Georgia, as well as contemporary choral music. I live in a lovely semi-detached house in Ely, Cambridgeshire with my wife Alice Thanks for visiting my site! Derek J Wilcox

Singing, volunteering, helping people, travelling,meeting and talking to new people. My career as a primary teacher was short-lived, due to injury, but my career in local government lasted rather longer! On March 16th 2020, I started a Facebook group at bit.ly/GBHCFriends for people who have been following Gareth Malone's Great British Home Chorus; I head a team of five Admins on the page, helping members to access resources shared in the group.
