DepList is a resource for professional singers, organists, choral directors in and around the London area and those wish to use their services. It has about twice as many subscribers as are listed here because many subscribers do not wish to have their details publicly listed on the Internet.
Subscription to DepList is by personal recommendation and subject to approval by the list owners. Subscribers can send a single message to the list's address, and the message is automatically and instantly e-mailed to all the subscribers on the list.
Subscribers can also log in to the message server's website and view all current and past messages, as well as send out messages from there.
Subscription fees for Full Membership are currently £10 per year. This includes unlimited use of the messaging service and an optional entry on Member pages (see next paragraph).
A special category of membership (Associateship) exists for those who are not necessarily professional musicians but who want to be able to take advantage of our messaging service to advertise employment opportunities. Anyone can apply for Associate membership (subscription fee, £10 per year). Associates can send messages to the list's members but cannot receive messages or view the archived messages.
The page you are reading now belongs to a stand-alone website, which serves to complement the DepList messaging service by giving subscribers a public presence on the web. It also enables non-member visitors and Associate members to take advantage of the various recruitment facilities offered by DepList, thus increasing the number of jobs available to subscribers.
