We will sing rounds and harmonies from many traditions and languages around the globe. African, Celtic, Rainforest, Gospel and so much more….

Since I began teaching in 2017, I have taught songs from many inspiring harmony teachers like John Bowker and numerous NVN singers from past and present.

No singing experience needed. All songs are taught by ear.

Usually on Saturdays or Sundays

Museum in the Park, Stroud

This friendly, informal group is led by Eleanor Holliday and is for any adults who feel they need a mid-week boost. Each week different seasonal and folk songs from across the UK and around the world are chosen for us to sing. Singing can help with breathing, posture, mental focus, memory and concentration, and singing together with others helps us find a sense of community and social connection, all important for our health and wellbeing. It can also be good fun!

All you need is a willingness to join in and commit to the series, and fairly good eyesight – as the song words are written up on a flipchart. If you’d like to book, or have any questions, please email museum@stroud.gov.uk or contact The Museum in the Park on 01453 763394.

Wednesdays 10.30am

Please be in touch for address as I run this group from my house

This choir will capture all the magic of Stroud Folk Choir, with a wonderful mix of uplifting sea shanties, joyful celebration songs, moving laments, catchy ditties, and songs that celebrate the beauty of the natural world. We’ll be singing traditional and contemporary folk songs, both from our own islands and other cultures worldwide, in 3- and 4-part harmonies. Plus, we’ll include some fun circle singing and engaging voice and rhythm games that are easy for everyone to join in!
​
This group is perfect for anyone who loves to sing but prefers daytime sessions to evenings. It’s an inclusive space for all ages and abilities—whether you’re looking to connect with a cross-generational singing community, or simply want to learn new songs to take home. Families are very welcome!
​
Children over 5 are more than welcome to join in if they’re keen to sing (or just enjoy listening), along with tweens and teens—just be sure they’re accompanied by a responsible adult. While we welcome younger children, this isn’t a parent-and-toddler group, and we ask that little ones are likely to settle during the session so that we can maintain the focus of our group singing.
​
This is a non-audition community choir, and we’ll be learning songs by ear—no need to read music! Lyrics will often be provided for the longer songs.
​
We’ll also be teaming up with members of Stroud Folk Choir and Sing Ahoy! (Dursley) for some exciting collaborative events, local performances, and community outings.

These sessions will be drop in whilst we grow and the cost will be:
£8 per Adult
£5 per child over 12
£3.50 per child 5-11

Cash or Card on the door
