This group is a relaxed, supportive space focused on women’s wellbeing. You don’t need to have or bring children to come along!

We have lots of babies and toddlers at the group but the focus is on the adults (no nursery rhymes in sight!) and providing a nourishing, relaxed environment. Somewhere to let go, and recharge.

They are a safe space where it’s ok to be real – to talk about the highs and lows of life and / or parenting, and everything is welcomed.

There’s no need to be musical or have any singing experience. Anyone can come. We keep things simple – everything is learnt by ear, and when everyone’s comfortable we add in a harmony of two. There’s no sheet music, or words to learn. The focus is not on sounding amazing – though we often do!

Come and try out a session – the first one is always free. And we provide discounted options if cost is in any way a barrier.

We are a small friendly group singing a wide variety of songs, all taught by ear, so no experience needed.
We sing in unison, rounds and 2/3/4/5 part songs: from My Bonnie to Abba, the African continent to Spain, old and new; we simply have fun, and everyone says they feel good when they go home!
Pay as you go, so it’s ok to drop in any week, tea/coffee included. Contact me for dates, price per session (£3 at February 2025) and any other info needed.
For fun and well-being, harmony singing is so rewarding! All welcome.

Tuesday afternoons 2.30~4.30pm, please check dates

This class focuses on connecting to the voice as part of the body. These sessions include movement improvisation – moving from sensation and imagination – and somatic work, to ground ourselves and centre our awareness in the body. We work with the breath and vibrations that make up our unique sound, using embodied voice techniques to wake up the voice from within, working towards singing in harmony and vocal improvisation.

This is an accessible class for anyone wanting to find/re-find/nurture their voice in a supportive, judgement-free space. All bodies and voices are welcome.

If you have any questions about the class, or are coming along for the first time, please email me at enemarknina@gmail.com

Friday mornings

St David's Church, Bath Street, Aberystwyth, SY23 2NN.

We are funded by Credu, the Welsh charity supporting carers.  Our original members are carers and we now welcome everyone.  It is free to attend.

Eosau is the Welsh word for Nightingales, chosen after the song which we sing, “I have a Million Nightingales” by Linda Hirschhorn and Mahmoud Darwish.

“The sessions have a significant impact on my health because singing helps my breathing, and on my well-being because I love to sing, and especially to sing with others. It is both uplifting and grounding, and very precious!”

“It’s wonderful being able to have some time out from being a carer,  singing, chatting and exercising with other people for a while, and Iona always makes it feel easy and undemanding, which is just what you need!” – Jill

Fridays 11am - 12.30pm. We sing in half term, but not over Christmas and Easter. If in doubt contact Iona for dates.
