You can also find free rehearsal files for older music which is out of copyright on a website called John Fletcher Music.

For music still in copyright if you would like to use the John Fletcher Music tool one of our members has set up a BFCS subscription which requires a contribution of £5 to cover a one year subscription, and any monies received above the annual fee will be donated to BIASAN.  If you would like to join this subscription please contact James Mitchell via Facebook Messenger or see him at rehearsal – he sings with the tenors, or send a message to bradfordfestivalchoralsociety@gmail.com.
