Welcome to Bad Vibrations Community Choir!
If you love to sing but haven’t sung in a choir, don’t read music or just feel you can’t hold a tune – you’re in the right place! But if you can do any of that then great, you can help the rest of us.
Our Choir was formed in 2017 by Robin and Sarah. Their vision was to create a choir for people who aren’t confident enough to join a ‘proper’ choir - where people can meet, enjoy singing and develop their confidence amongst friends. The emphasis is on having fun and learning at your own pace.
The choir meet every Tuesday at Abbey Hill United Reformed Church. Weeks 1, 3 and 5 of each month from 6.30 pm to 8 pm and weeks 2/4 from 7.45 pm to 8.45 pm are led by our MD Jane, who enthusiastically teaches us new songs and tries to impart musical knowledge to us.
We also run a more informal ‘sing-along’ session led by the committee on weeks, weeks 2 and 4 from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm (before the choristers meet) when we just sing great songs purely for pleasure.
You try one session of each free, then either come to both, or whichever style of singing suits you best. We ask £10 annual membership fee due in September (£5 after March) then you only pay when you attend.
When you try a Choir session please don’t be daunted by it. Some of the songs we sing with Jane are old favourites that we’ve been practising for a while and may even sound quite good by now! We will provide you with music and help you through your first sessions. We start a new song every few months, and then we’ll be in it together learning it from scratch.
Some of the songs we have learnt (or are still learning) are
| Bridge Over Troubled Water | Take Me Home Country Roads |
| Queen Medley | Sunshine on Leith |
| Thank you for the Music | Lean on Me |
| I don’t want to miss a thing | Don’t stop believing |
We really hope that after your free introductory sessions you will decide to join us. If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to speak to one of the committee members – we’re keen to include everyone in making this choir a success!
Kind Regards,
Your BVCC committee - Andy, Pam, Sarah, Ian, John, Christine, Kate, Mary.
