Mayfair Community Centre, Easthope Road, Church Stretton, Shropshire, SY6 6BL

A thriving community choir, Harmony in the Hills is the new name for Stretton Community Singers. Based in Church Stretton the group rehearses on Thursday evenings throughout the year. The choir sings a wide array of music in harmony, including songs from a range of cultures, which we do our best to learn respectfully in accordance with the NVN ethos. We also sing early music, popular songs and specially arranged and composed pieces.

We are often asked to perform at local events and are always on the look out for opportunities where we can enjoy singing in partnership with community groups who are more marginalised and/or isolated. Members range from experienced musicians to people who never, ever thought they could sing. New singers are always very welcome and there are discounts available for family groups who want to come along to sing together.

Angel Hall, Bowden House Community, Green Lane, Totnes, Devon TQ9 7PW

This weekly Thursday evening harmony singing space is in the beautiful Angel Hall at Bowden House Community – and I am always delighted to welcome people to join us in what is in effect my extended living room. Songs from all over, but with quite a few gospel – Tony Backhouse is a big influence and usually leads a workshop here on his occasional visits from the other side of the world!

We sing for our own enjoyment and thus have none of the pressures of preparing for performance. In practical terms this means that we can welcome those who pass through for just one evening, those who drop in and out when they can alongside the regulars who are there most weeks.

I like to think that the harmony we create together ripples out into the wider world, trickles down into the earth beneath our feet and radiates out towards the stars.
