The West Gallery Music Association
An informal group of singers, instrumentalists and scholars. They share an interest in the sacred music, psalmody and hymnody, and the secular music and dance of the men and women who performed from the west galleries of parish churches, in chapels, and around the towns and villages of England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Although the association is non-denominational, singing in Church of England parish churches is normally as part of a prayer book service.

The association includes about thirty "quires" spread throughout England, and one in USA (MA), and one in Australia (NSW).
