Musical Director: Greg Watson
Greg is a singer, composer, songwriter, pianist, percussionist and arranger. His interest in music began when, as a teenager, he studied the piano and played drums in rock bands. A period of higher education culminated in a Masters Degree. During this time Greg specialised in composition, performance technique, musical analysis, and orchestral percussion. Greg has held several lecturing and teaching posts, performed with several orchestras and has been musical director of ensembles including choirs, orchestras, and theatre groups.

The Musicality Singers has a pretty extensive repertoire.
That said, we don’t cover classical choir pieces, nor have we tried rap. There is a core of pop and rock music from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, including: Abba, Beatles, Bowie, Cohen, ELO, Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Ben E King, Queen and others. We also offer selections from a range of 20th century musicals, including 42nd Street, West Side Story, Phantom and Les Misérables.
Alongside that, we also cover pieces from the folk tradition, spirituals and hymns. As our Christmas concert has grown in popularity, so has the range of Christmas music we offer, from Christmas hymns and carols to Christmas pop songs (though we try not to cover the ones relentlessly in shops at Christmas).
Many of the pieces are arranged by our Musical Director Greg Watson.
Here is a selection of the arrangements that Greg has written for the choir:
