Please also note that our 1st July rehearsal will be moved to St. Peter’s Church in Clapham, just off the high street, near to CC tube station. This is due to a prior booking at the Omnibus. But we’ll have a piano, great tunes & all the same fun as always ☺️.

We’re currently accepting new Tenors and Basses** for our waitlist so please get in touch if you sing one of these parts and would like to be part of our fabulous group of singers (if we do say so ourselves!).
Right now we’re rehearsing some fantastic songs such as Pink Pony Club, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Good Riddance, California Dreamin’ and more in store!

Collaborations
Last July, we teamed up with Croydon Voices for a special concert in Fairfield Halls. The event was a huge success, and we loved being able to sing all together as an even bigger group.
We’ve also previously collaborated with Sing Tower Hamlets as part of our mission to keep the community singing throughout the covid crisis. We came together to do a virtual performance of ‘You’ve Got A Friend’ by the fabulous Carole King (which you can have a listen to above!).
Plus, we recorded our own version of ‘A Keelie Makolay’ – an uplifting Ghanaian folk song.
Our Home
You’ll find us rehearsing our repertoire on Tuesday evenings from 7:30-9pm at:
