Additional information

I have been running choirs and singing groups for over 20 years, and was at Frankie’s inaugural birthday gathering in which the NVN was born. I believe it is everyone’s birthright to sing, and love the energy when the choir ‘gets it’ after a struggle. I am also involved in mental health work, and in the area of psychological trauma, and am very aware of how good group singing is for both mental and physical health

I facilitate a women’s a cappella group ‘Vocaloca’ in Belfast, and I run a regular community choir on Thursday evenings called ‘Change the World in Song’, singing songs of peace and justice in harmony from around the world,

I also run the DSA choir, for young adults with Downs Syndrome, parents, carers and volunteers. We meet on alternate Tuesdays. Contact Kate for further information.

My choirs

Change the World in Song
Description

This is an open access community choir, singing songs of peace, justice, peace, care for the environment and hope in a divided world. Songs are taught by ear- reading music or experience are not necessary, although sometimes written music is available. There is a strong sense of community, and we are rebuilding after Covid, when we met on Zoom, and later in outside venues to keep the group together.
We have a fabulous venue in Ballynafeigh Community Centre, Ormeau Road, which is also home to many other community groups and activities. We start back after the summer break on Thursday 14th September, at 7. Hope to see you there!

Session times

Thursdays, 7pm to 9pm
