Bradford-on-Avon

Fiery Dragon Singers is a small chamber choir in Bradford-on-Avon.

We sing folk and other songs in harmony, mostly unaccompanied or sometimes accompanied by our sister group Fiery Dragon Company.  Parts will be taught by ear but you can also have a copy of the score as an aide-memoire.  We meet on Sunday evenings in Bradford-on-Avon.

Phone Anne and Chris on 01225 864706 or email ag@concertina.info for more information and address of venue.

Sunday evenings from 7 till 9pm

Discover a groundbreaking, friendly singing practice that can release your authentic self and create profound connection. Flow Singing intertwines music and mindfulness to unlock your voice and expand your sense of journey.

This practice is designed to meet you exactly where you are: seasoned singer, absolute beginner, or somewhere in the middle — you are welcome to come try it out during the 1st week of the month, my treat!

Like in a yoga or t’ai-chi practice, there are invitations to attend and deepen, options to add complexity or release into a simple form. Recordings of the songs will be available for those who wish to refresh between classes.

Each new month brings a new set of songs; you register one month at a time to really settle with these songs. Come the first week to enjoy a community sing & check it out!

Tuesday middays 11:15am-12:45pm and/or Thursday evenings 7-8:30pm. Come to either or both.

Brockenhurst Methodist Church Hall, Avenue Road, Brockenhurst SO42 7RT

The Forget-me-not Singing Club is primarily aimed at people living with dementia and/or Parkinson’s disease and their friends, but anyone else who just fancies a good sing on a Friday afternoon would be very welcome to join us!

Songs are from a range of genres and eras – folk songs, pop songs, songs from films and even from Scouts/Guides and school days. We also follow the seasons and come up with some special songs to suit the time of year.

The singing is fun and friendly and there’s no need to worry if you think you are not much of a singer, or a bit rusty – all voices are welcome!

(I am also looking for people to help me during the sessions with things like handing out song sheets and making tea. If you would be willing to help, please let me know!)

Getting there: There are a few parking spaces in front and to both sides of the church, but you can also park for free on the road in front. The church hall is also just a few minutes walk from Brockenhurst railway station (via the gate at the back of the station carpark).

Cost: £3 per person, which includes free tea/coffee and biscuits.

Get in touch: I’m very happy to answer any questions you might have, and it would also be really helpful if you could let me know if you are planning to come along (so I can make sure I bring enough song-sheets, and most importantly, biscuits!) Thank you!

Fridays, 2-3.30pm.
