Specialisms

3 types of group: singing for wellbeing and fun, a performing choir and a childless women's group

Additional information

Based in Kendal, Cumbria, Clare runs Growing Singing, a very small business with the aim of encouraging and enabling a growing number of people around Kendal to enjoy the benefits of a blooming good sing.

This involves four projects:

Two regular groups in Kendal town centre (at the Town Hall).  A Monday evening drop-in and a Tuesday morning Dawn Chorus (also drop-in) where people just come for a one-off or for years and years to enjoy a good sing (and often a brew afterwards) with no commitment whatsoever. These groups have no aim but wellbeing and fun.

One performing community choir (starting January 2023, also in the Town Hall) which will focus on fundraising and generally making our community and the world (!) a better place to be living.

She also started Growing Singing Childless & Whole, a women’s singing group and that is now in transition, having started on Zoom in the pandemic times, and now being on hold until . . . . not sure what really!  Contact me directly about that if it appeals.  The name (hopefully) tells you much about it.

She has a singing email list of 200+ singing enthusiasts locally (feel free to send email material to publicise).

She also sings in a performing quartet, Pandora’s Handbag.
