Repertoire

Expect strong contemporary song by living women writers written for women's acapella voices with new takes on lullabies, work-songs, songs of protest and songs of nature, alt-folk with a twist, pop and global harmony. Music which resonates, charms, inspires and surprises.

​

Would you like to sing songs that might be fierce, pointed, profound and joyful?

Would you call yourself a confident singer able to stay in tune with others?

Can you move in time and sing at the same time?

Can you hold a musical part alongside others singing in different harmony?

Can you commit to putting in practice at home when working towards a performance?

 

This is not a traditional choir/rock choir community choir or ladies barbershop - there will be no matching T-shirts or floaty scarves!

It's a bit different.

We've had some great opportunities to collaborate: On stage with the awesome and rising talent Kockroachez at GloFest & recording with the sultry and sonorous Barricane. Plus we've put on fundraisers with the ever splendid Poet Performers Sophia Blackwell, Laura Burchell & Tina Sederholm. Performed with Grammy nominated Moira Smiley and workshopped with Helen Chadwick.

​​​​​Comments

Come and find out about what we do and whether you can meet the stipulations above. This is not a choir for beginners or hiders and I reserve the right to decline or invite new members to join. There is a reasonably fast pace to learning and voices need to match too. However, in the same breath I think a lot of women under-estimate their ability. 

The choir is administrated via a Whatsapp community.

(All my other choirs, workshops, groups have an open door policy welcoming singers of absolutely any ability)
