Sounding It Out was established by legendary Wiltshire singing leader Candy Verney in 2008. Candy moved to Ireland in 2015 to start a singing centre in Ireland: since then, the group has been led by Caroline Radcliffe.
We are a friendly crowd, with singers coming from all over west Wiltshire, Bath and Bristol. We come from a diversity of musical backgrounds. Some have never sung before, while others have lots of experience: we embrace everyone! We have a good deal of fun, as well as working on a high standard of performance. We sing a range of songs: modern, traditional, and songs from other countries.
We love to perform! You can hear us at charity, community and other events in Wiltshire, Bath and beyond. We occasionally host choirs from other countries, as well as make return visits. We hosted a choir from Czech Republic in October 2013, and made a return trip in Oct 2014. We visited a choir in Mallorca in 2018. We have at least one weekend away together during the year, and may also be seen intermittently at various skittle alleys and pubs in the local area.

Monday evenings from 7.30 - 9.30pm, term times

St. John's Church, Victoria Road, Forres, IV36 3BN.

A friendly male voice choir, singing since 2011. Co-led by Bill Henderson and David Harrison, both experienced choir leaders with extensive and contrasting musical backgrounds, experience and skills. We sing inspirational songs from around the world, teaching all songs by ear. There are no auditions, no sheet music and no previous experience is necessary. “Like a men’s group but with no gazing of navels”. We occasionally share some of our songs on an unsuspecting audience.

Tuesdays during term time 7.30-9.30pm

Soul Happy, Queensgate Shopping Centre, 13 Westgate, Peterborough PE1 1PY

I’d like to invite you to unlock your authentic self. Rise from your heart through your throat and make “Sounds from the heart”.

No experience needed. No need to be a “singer”. Just bring yourself, water, whatever emotion you’re in and a pre-paid exchange of £10 to grab a space.

What to expect:

• Intro to Sound
• Breathe and Ground
• Sound IceBreaker
• Vocal Warm ups
• Song Circle: earthy songs, global chants from all over the world, harmonise

My aim is to provide a space which is inclusive and safe, you can express in all your authenticity and find a community which becomes deeply connective.

Last Thursday of the month, 6:15-8pm

Worthing, Chichester and Lewes

The South Downs Folk Singers is a large, long standing and lively group of singers who meet monthly in Worthing, Lewes and Chichester.

We learn and sing folk songs mostly from this part of the world, celebrating the beauty and history of Sussex, and also folk songs that have travelled from other parts of the UK because they are so lovely.
Occasionally we perform the songs for the pleasure of sharing them; you may hear us in the woods or at the Weald and Downland Museum or at small festivals and celebrations throughout the year.

All the details of meetings and performances, all the songs and words and lots more fascinating stuff can be found on the website:

The “South Downs Folk Singers” is not a formal choir but a joyful group who sing traditional South Downs songs unaccompanied, as they may very well have been sung in homes, places of work and recreation in the past. It began life following a Heritage Lottery Funded project in partnership with the South Downs Society, about the heritage and songs of the South Downs. This finished in 2013 and the SDFS was formed to continue singing together. Since then we have added songs, harmonies and singers.

We have three local groups, each meeting monthly to sing in Chichester, Lewes and Worthing at the following venues – (N.B. – please check our Diary Page for any temporary changes to these usual plans.)
