WHAT WE DO

We sing for fun, for the delight of hearing our own voices mingling with 70 other voices creating beautiful sounds in harmony together.

We sing all sorts of songs from pop and folk classics to world music, mantras and rounds.

We learn songs by ear, taught by our director Ruairi Edwards in our practice sessions.  You don't need to read music though at times sheet music will be available.  There will also be recordings of his teaching available to members on the website so you can practice at home.

Ruairi is helping us all to find the sweet spot in our voices and to develop individually as singers.  He is also building us up as a choir, singing in vibrant four part harmony and developing a repertoire.

When we eventually put on a concert we will be singing confidently and for joy, and we believe our audiences will have joyful experiences too.

At the same time we are becoming a community, a particular sort of community. Standing side by side singing together brings you into a special relationship with the others, one that does not depend on words or thoughts, but grows through simply being together and sharing our voices in song.  And people are building new friendships in the process as well as meeting old friends.

WHERE WE ARE GOING

We have recently formed a steering group  who will be making the decisions about how we manage and administer the choir in the future

We are aiming to become a stable, financially viable, not-for-profit organisation.
