February already!
Choir on Tuesday 4 February will be all about making sure that we have mastered songs that we have been learning in the last few weeks – especially “I call to you” which was starting to sound gorgeous last week. Also we will start to learn the words for “Ide Were Were”- one of the African songs for Sing for Water North. Here is a little video clip – do have a listen before you come – it will really help!! Incidentally this video clip is from the Sing for Water event in London a few years ago – it gives you an idea of what to expect if you have never sung in a mass sing event!
Spring returns soon.
See you all tomorrow
Happy New Year – 2020!
The new term is going to be a good one! We will be learning the following:
Songs ready for Sing for Water (including Moon River to get us walzing and a great African song to get us stomping)
Simple rounds (some that we might compose using our own thoughts and words)
Songs that make us feel good in ourselves and therefore better able to encourage and support others. (And NB it has been proven that this is a very real benefit of singing groups because of things called mirror neurons which help us realise how much we matter to each other and how we can rewire our brains for good!)
So whether you want a pick-me-up, a good sing, a bit of creativity, a bit of gentle brain and body exercise, or just to be together with friends – this is the place to be on Tuesday evenings!
All fees are held at last year’s rate (great value at just £28 for 6 sessions or £5 if you pay as you go)
Happy Christmas Everybody!

More Christmas Songs Tomorrow Dec 17th
Don’t forget it’s our last session tomorrow. More singing, laughing and nibbles. Don’t forget your Christmas glitter too!
Food bank donations
Thank you to everyone for your donations in lieu of giving each other Christmas cards. We raised nearly £50 and have managed to pack two boxes of goods which will be taken to the food bank at Burnley FC next week. They have already expressed their appreciation.
Well done, generous friends.
Two more choir sessions before Christmas
Just a reminder that we’ll be singing seasonal songs at our sessions on 10th and 17th December.
Feel free to wear sparkle, Christmas jumpers, silly hats, illuminated earrings etc to either or both sessions. It’s Christmas, after all. We intend to enjoy some nibbles and fizz on 17th December.
We return to singing after Christmas on 14th January 2020.
Provisional dates for next year are on the home page of the website.
Tis the season to be jolly!
- Someone willing to teach songs and play guitar (such talent!)
- Someone prepared to do some mindfulness
- A couple of Ukelele players maybe?
- Someone sorting out some nibbles (non crumbly) and lovely fizzy stuff to drink for the 17th
- And there will be other fun stuff!!
