1 Warborough Road

A weekly song circle for women identified folk to gather and welcome in the fullness of ourselves through group singing. No singing experience is necessary and songs will be taught orally, so no need to read music. The focus will be using our voices and allowing our bodies to relax into singing naturally, to increasingly access the power and beauty of our voices. We will explore the power of harmony to lift our mood and strengthen connection and awareness. We will sing chants, rounds and songs that are accessible to all with more challenging parts available for those who desire. Genres we may explore are folk, pop, songs from around the world, music of the African diaspora, original songs. Non-binary people welcome if comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women and those assigned female at birth.

Sundays term time 7:15-9:00 pm

Croi Nua, Salthill, Galway

Galway Sing Circle is a natural voice choir where we share harmony, community and beautiful songs.

I teach multi-part songs by ear, and it’s a relaxed and playful atmosphere with broad and interesting range of music (last term we sung Appalachian shouter gospel, Georgian work songs, Kate Bush, Heart Songs, Rainforest songs, 90s r&b). All voices are welcome, no auditions, no sheet music.

We have an amazing new venue at Croi Nua, just off Taylor’s Hill in Galway city. There’s space for us to grow there, gorgeous acoustics and good accessibility.

I advertise each term as a fixed ‘series’  that runs in blocks of 6/7 weeks on Tuesday evenings. You can book the full series in advance for €10/ session or drop in anytime for €15. Never let money be a barrier to joining, pay what you can is available to everyone.

Tuesday evenings in term time, 7:30-9:30

Bristol’s legendary Gasworks Choir started in 1997 and has been going strong ever since. Currently led by Ali Orbaum and Susannah Gooch, we aim high but welcome all abilities. We sing a wide range of gorgeous material – pop, folk, soul, gospel, songs from around the world and the occasional classical piece. All songs are taught by ear and there’s no audition to join.

We meet fortnightly and learn our songs in smaller groups of approx. 40 singers. We also come together regularly as a 160 strong choir to enjoy singing as a whole choir and for performances. Our December concert is usually held at St George’s Bristol, a beautiful venue with one of the best acoustics in the country.
