Musical DIRECTOR - BRIAN GERRY
Brian joined the Plymouth Area Police Choir in September 1986. With the exception of just one year, when he took a sabbatical break in Southern Spain, he has been our Musical Director ever since. 2012 saw the 40th Anniversary as Musical Director.
He has been the Musical Director for "Music of the Night" I, II, III, IV, V and VI and he has also musically directed countless shows for the Plymouth Theatre Company, at the Devonport Playhouse and the Theatre Royal.
He recently received the Chief Constable's Commendation for his dedication and leadership of the choir. The choir would not be in the position to provide entertainment and fundraising that it does without the massive commitment of Brian. He works tirelessly to raise and maintain the standards of the choir. It is no surprise that the choir has become recognised as one of the premier Male Voice choirs in the South West.
Brian feels that the Plymouth Area Police Choir continues to go from strength to strength and wishes to thank all the members for their dedication, enthusiasm and commitment - with special thanks to "our orchestra", namely Rosemary Fox, for her continued support and her friendship.
