online

We sing simple rounds and harmonies of a spiritual nature in a meditative atmosphere, with an emphasis on immersing ourselves in the sound. I increasingly choose themes for each session which are connected with the natural world e.g. celebrating the seasons.

Singing online is different from in-person, though enjoyable in its own way. The benefits are still the joy of singing with others (even if you can’t hear them) and using your body, breath and voice to centre you. Many have said they are more confident to sing out as no-one else can hear them!

All are welcome and each session stands alone, though one of the wonderful things about singing is how it brings complete strangers together very quickly.

Third Sunday of the month 7.15-8.45pm

Burnham Park Hall, Windsor Lane, Burnham, SL1 7HR

Sound and Song Burnham follows the Singing Mamas model of community group singing . Our project is fully funded and our focus is on perinatal wellbeing, but any new mum is welcome. Join us to learn simple and beautiful tunes, connect with fellow lovely mamas, relax with a cuppa, all while the little ones bask in the glorious vibrations from singing.

Includes:

• Time to connect with mums and other women in the group.
• Singing like the birds sing, without a care in the world.
• New songs to learn and take home and sing to your little ones.
• Online songs for you to access after the session.
• Access to Facebook ‘Singing Mamas’ support group.
• Homemade cake and a cuppa on us!
• Maternal wellbeing

At Singing Mamas groups mums are the centre of attention. We will always greet you by your first name, not just as your precious one’s mum. We believe a healthy and happy mum makes a healthy and happy baby (and family).

Sheppards Barton

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
