Edinburgh – Rehearsal location provided on request

Castle Chorus is Edinburgh’s folk and roots community choir. We’re open to all regardless of previous singing experience, with no auditions and no need to read music notation. We sing a wide range of folk music from throughout the ages and around the world, we collaborate with local songwriters and bands, and we create songs together about things we care about.

Members pay £7 per session or £3 concession with further flexibility available – we don’t want money to be a barrier for anyone. Drop-in attendance is welcome although we ask for some patience in the run-up to performances!

Thursdays 6.30-8.30pm

Catford Mews, Winslade Way, SE6 4JU

Catford Sings is Catford’s newest community choir,  which launched in September 2023.

We sing beautiful folk, world music and pop songs, which are all songs taught by ear so there’s no need to read music and no auditions.

New singers are welcome at any time in the term.

We meet in the upstairs studio at Catford Mews, Catford’s local independent cinema. Come through the main entrance, through the bar area and go through the doors as if you were going to the cinema screens. At the back of the corridor is a staircase up to the first floor, where the studio is located.

Unfortunately at the moment the lift is not in operation so the space is only accessible via the stairs.

If you’re early, why not grab some food or a drink while you wait, and feel free to stay on afterwards for a drink and to get to meet your fellow singers.

Wednesday evenings, 7.30-9pm

Canton Liberal Workmen's Club, 301-303 Cowbridge Rd E, Cardiff, CF5 1JD

Relaxed community singing group, open to all. No experience necessary – just a chance to sing together.

Tuesday 7-9pm

Ballynafeigh Community Development Centre, 283 Ormeau Road, Belfast BT7 3GG

This is an open access community choir, singing songs of peace, justice, peace, care for the environment and hope in a divided world. Songs are taught by ear- reading music or experience are not necessary, although sometimes written music is available. There is a strong sense of community, and we are rebuilding after Covid, when we met on Zoom, and later in outside venues to keep the group together.
We have a fabulous venue in Ballynafeigh Community Centre, Ormeau Road, which is also home to many other community groups and activities. We start back after the summer break on Thursday 19th September, at 7. Hope to see you there!

Thursdays, 7pm to 9pm
