Who are Trinity Singers?

Trinity Singers are people who sing at Trinity on Main, the United Church in Newmarket. We are choir members, praise team members, people who come to church at Trinity, or used to come to Trinity, and friends of any of those folks, and people who join us for our Thursday community singing evening. 

We sing and we talk about music. We talk about everything under the sun before and after singing (even sometimes during, sigh). 

Our beautiful building is old but our thinking is not.

At the end, everyone can sing along with the na-nas and some of us even like to harmonize with them. When my daughter was writing songs, I urged her to put some nonesense la-las in her songs. Don't worry about finding beautiful, powerful words for all the verses, or all the lines of the chorus. Sometimes, the lack of words makes a melody more powerful.  Here's the list of songs we sang and listened to: Can't Get You Out of My Head   by Kylie Minogue Everything   by Michael Bublé Those Were the Days   by Mary Hopkin Hey Jude   by the Beatles Tom's Diner   by Suzanne Vega &DNA De Do Do Do, De ...
