We sing many different kinds of music: folk songs, folk rock, country, regional favourites, upbeat songs, pub songs, ballads and much more.

It would be nice if you could carry a tune and sing comfortably as part of a group. We’re not a professional choir. Our mandate is to have fun making music and sharing that enjoyment with others.
