We are the Erewash Phoenix Choir
The Erewash Phoenix Choir celebrates its 21st anniversary in 2025. The choir started when a few friends got together in a family living room. It has now grown to a thirty strong choir with a schedule of rehearsals and performances throughout the year. We are always keen to meet to new members who would like to join us.

Meet our Musical Director
Terry Clay hails from Heanor in Derbyshire. He started playing the piano aged six, and continued his education first at the local Grammar School, before being offered a place to study piano and viola at the Royal Manchester College of Music, graduating in 1962.
After graduation, Terry taught at Tupton Hall Grammar School, before moving to Hertfordshire. He became became Musical director of Stevenage Male Voice Choir spending ten years with the choir, leading them to success in choral competition, TV and Radio performances, and singing for Royalty.
In 1976, work brought Terry back to the East Midlands and to Male Voice Choral singing once again. Since his return 'home' he has used his musical experience to enhance the performances of a number of local Male Voice Choirs, including the Alfreton Male Voice Choir.
Under Terry's guidance, the choir is going from strength to strength, we are expanding our repertoire under his guidance and that of our wonderful accompanist, Hilary Griffiths.
