Boscombe Songster Brigade (Salvation Army Choir) was formed in 1906 and has participated on a weekly basis ever since. Their mission is to present the Gospel message in a clear and attractive way.

Boscombe Songsters currently perform a repertoire spanning a large range of styles - these include contemporary Christian music, gospel, classical, choral, and traditional hymns and music especially reproduced for them by their Darren (to purchase music by Darren Bartlett click here).

Currently this group consists of 54 members, all from many different areas of employment including, information technology, design, commerce, nursing, and teaching staff. Their ages range from mid-teens to 70+ and include individuals still in education and some retired personnel who are enjoying their retirement and yet still have a keen interest in being active within their place of worship.

All members are Salvationist volunteers who are passionate about their singing and have a fervent desire to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Darren Bartlett is the current leader (Musical Director), who until January 2006 was a member of the International Staff Songsters (ISS). Darren is highly regarded as a top quality vocalist and composer/arranger of music.

The Songsters undertook a tour of Canada in 2007, focusing on the Ontario region under the name 'The Promise' of which this CD coincides with.
