Andover Light Orchestra has around 40 members of all ages based in and around the Andover area. Its members’ expertise ranges from musicians just beginning their musical journey, to proficient instrumentalists.
Middle Wallop and Andover Military Wives Choir was formed in 2012 as part of the rollout of a network of choirs, begun by a group of wives and girlfriends in Catterick Garrison who wanted to give each other support and a focus whilst their partners were deployed in Afghanistan.

The choir is made up of veterans, serving service personnel, partners and daughters, and membership is constantly evolving as ladies come and go with military postings, sometimes returning two or three times in their careers.
