ABOUT US

Mostly G&S was created in 2009 to bring together people interested in singing operetta. Although specifically formed to sing the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, there is the occasional dalliance into the works of other much-loved operetta composers such as Franz Lehár and Johann Strauss. All of our performances are in concert format, sung in theatre. We like it this way because we can concentrate just that bit harder on the music.

 

Nevertheless we sing without scores and audiences have come to expect a little frisson of movement and a side dish of narrative to assist the evening along!

 

We stage two productions a year, in the spring and in the autumn.

​

In 2017 we became a committee run group, thus allowing members to become more than just a singing voice and input their ideas for the future especially at our AGM.

Jeff Trim-

Scripting

Jeff has performed opera, operetta and oratorio since his school days, where he also first encountered the Savoy Operas. Since then he has appeared in more than 30 different G&S roles including most of the principal tenor parts.

He has played both Mr Cox and Mr Box before, but not in the same performance!

Jeff has scripted and narrated the majority of the Mostly G&S shows and restored many 'lost numbers' to the music performed.

Jess Harris-

Committee

Soprano Jess has been a member of Mostly G&S for several years.

She began singing at an early age, joining her church choir at ten and performing with Reading Operatic Society from sixteen.

She has performed many principal roles as well as having sung ensemble.

Jess has a great love of Mostly G&S and is passionate about helping to bring an outstanding performance to our audience.
