Platt has been blessed with many varied and gifted musicians over the years - we'd love to include you in the music life of the church!
We aim to use the gifts in a number of ways, to the glory of God. At present, we have four regular bands aiding the congregation in worship, with a choir and other ensembles coming together for special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter Sunday. The bands consist of not only classical instruments, but also the more regular band line up of guitars, keys and drums. Alongside the musicians, a team of skilled audio operators work on a rota basis providing the congregation with a balanced, audible mix of sound through working with the band rehearsals and the equipment available in the church. Is this an area in which you could help us?

If you feel called to be involved in the music at Platt, please speak to the music director, Olly Hamilton, or the church office, so that we can place you in the situation best suited to you. We look forward to having you involved in this exciting area of church ministry! |
