Singing in a group enhances feelings of relaxation, mood and confidence.

This group is for everyone, because we believe everyone can sing.

So don’t limit your singing to the bathroom!

No need to worry, no–one is put on the spot.Its about having fun, and who doesn’t like having fun?!

You are welcome to join at any time.

on Tuesdays — 2– 4pm
