Description

Join Stroud Folk Choir as we sing rousing shanties, joyous celebration songs, haunting laments and catchy ditties. Traditional and contemporary folk songs from our own fair isles and from other cultures around the world, taught in 3 and 4 part harmony with many original arrangements

There’s a place for you in the choir, regardless of your singing ability. Whether you’re uncertain and need some support from your fellow singers as you learn the songs, or a confident singer who’d like the opportunity to perform a short solo you are welcome here. There are no auditions as we believe singing is for everyone.

We try to get out into the community to perform occasionally, which we really enjoy, but the emphasis is on us having fun together first and foremost and nobody is expected to perform if they don’t want to.

We’ll be running on an open basis over the summer, so if you’d like to come along for a sing then please do join us. We’ll be closing in again in September as a members only choir so if you’d like to join us then please join our waiting list here: https://forms.gle/xyD9Cz11D6zysweC8

We do have some spaces for our mid-low range, which would be for male voices that are a bit higher than bass (not quite tenor), female voices that are in the lower range (low Altos) or non binary people with these qualities of voice (I apologise for not having the right terminology to give this voice type it’s own description without relating it to a male or female voice). If we can boost this section a little then we’d have capacity to allow a few extra people of other voice types too.
