We don’t know about you, but it seems like this summer has gone sooo quickly this year!
After some fun summer term gigs and our traditional cheese & wine night before the holiday, we’re looking forward to our new term that starts on Tuesday 9th September. It’s never too early to start warming up your voices and strap in for autumn!
Best wishes to everyone for a very happy and exciting 2025.
Our first rehearsal back will be on Tuesday 14th January – see you then!
Rehearsals have started again and our diary is already starting to fill up with a silent film to accompany, a gig on a bandstand and a summer picnic sing. Keep checking our calendar page for the latest updates!
We hope that you had a fabulous festive season!
Choir resumes on Tuesday 16th of January as usual in the St Giles’ Centre. Btw…
Our last December ’23 event – Carols ’round Camberwell (starting off at Oval Tube Station) raised £1306.95 together with Lyndhurst Primary School Choir for Crisis UK! What an amazing result!
Lyndhurst Choir at Vauxhall earlier in the day and then CCC at Oval with the Teletubbies! Followed by our traditional spot outside the Hermit’s.
We’re excited that we’ll be starting rehearsals again on Tuesday, 12th September at 7.30pm in the St Giles’ Centre.
If you’ve been itching to see what we’re all about, come along and try us out! Your first rehearsal is free and this term – we’ll be working on music to accompany a 1920’s silent film, a Victorian magic lantern concert (we’ll explain later) and of course – there’ll be a host of Christmas gigs in December.
We try to be a really welcoming bunch and coming along to a first rehearsal could be the best decision of your year! See you soon!
Our spring / summer term has started and we already have some gigs in the diary! Check out the calendar page for more details.
After such a busy end to 2023, we’ve had a relaxed start to 2023. But just in time to counteract the effects of ‘Blue Monday’, rehearsals begin on Tuesday 17th of January at 7.30pm.
At this time of year – lots of people like to come and ‘try us out’. If this applies to you – you’re really welcome to come to any rehearsal – just say hello to whoever is leading on the night – Aga, Matt or Ashley (our choir leaders) – and you’ll be taken care of. It doesn’t matter if you only come to one rehearsal or end up being a regular member – singing is so beneficial to us all.
Speaking of new folk… It’s going to be a folk-music themed term! There’ll be some well-known catchy melodies with a few surprises mixed in. See you soon!
Choir returns on Tuesday, 6th of September!
We’ll be back in the St Giles’ Centre at 7.30pm, just across the road from St Giles’ Church. All the dates you need are on the calendar page here.
New singers are always welcome! We’re a friendly bunch and you can turn up at a rehearsal whenever you like to try us out. Just tell one of our choir leaders (Aga, Matthew or Ashley) that you’re new when you arrive. It can be quite daunting coming to have a sing with a new group of people, but we aim to make it as comfortable and as fun as possible!
This term, we’ll be preparing for a concert in Novermber and our usual Christmas gigs. See you soon!
Happy New Year!
Whilst the end of 2021 didn’t end quite the way we hoped – with several cancelled events due to the virus – we’re hoping that 2022 will be a good year to sing!
We’re not putting any concerts or gigs in the diary just yet – but we’ll begin rehearsing again each Tuesday from the 25th of January.
We hope to see you soon!
Choir is back and you’re very welcome to join us! Whether you’re a regular / occasional member or just interested to see what we’re all about, here’s what you need to know.
Our first Rehearsal is in St Giles’ Church on Tuesday 7th September with Aga. It starts at 7.30pm. There’ll then be rehearsals every Tuesday up until half term (see the calendar page for more details).
If you’re new and wanting to try us out, your first rehearsal is free. Our regular fees are £5 or £3 concessions (students / seniors) and you can pay in person (cash only) or online. These are suggested fees though and if you continue to suffer financial hardship from the pandemic, please join us for free or pay as much as you can afford.
The use of masks for singing inside isn’t mandatory, but do feel free to wear a mask as you enter / exit – or even if you want to sing with one on. We’ll make full use of the space in St Giles’ when singing together. Please wrap up warm though, as the church is a bit chilly compared to our cosy and toasty hall!
We need to restart our half time hot drink helpers list – please do consider volunteer for this vital task!
See you all very soon!
