Welcome
Welcome. This is the home page of the Swadlincote Messiah Choral Society. The society has been in existence since 1995 although the first performance of Handel's Messiah at Hill Street Baptist Church, Swadlincote, took place on 22nd December 1901! It has been an annual event since this time with only 2 performances having been missed. It is regarded by many as the start of Christmas celebrations in South Derbyshire.
