Joining the Community Choir has given us Fun, Friendship and a new appreciation of how singing is good for the soul - being in the choir just lifts our spirits!

A glorious heart lifting sound, I am privileged to be a member of Steve's enthusiastic Community Choir!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first week with the community choir, everyone was so friendly, the choice of music was inspiring and the rehearsal was tremendous fun. I also felt that the sounds achieved by us all in such a short space of time were exciting, cant wait for our next rehearsal.

I really look forward to Thursday evenings and singing with the choir.  It's such a great way to relax after a hectic day at work. We sing a great variety of songs and it's a great feeling hearing how much we improve week on week.  Singing my first ever solo in public at our first concert earlier this year was a real milestone for me and I felt a wonderful sense of achievement even though I was very nervous.  I would recommend the choir to everyone, come along and have a go!

The community choir has helped me discover more about myself and improved my confidence. I look forward to every week as I can relax and forget my troubles for 2 hours. Singing is both fun and therapeutic,  helping your worries drift away

Rob

I wanted something fun, relaxing and not too taxing to do. Only singing to myself in the car before, I now enjoy my singing along with others and our fund raising concerts give it a purpose.

I suffered with mental health problems and find the two hours singing in the choir once a week a real godsend, it takes me out of my problems & makes me feel normal again. I especially like the joviality of it all

Wishes To Remain Anonymous

I have always wanted to join a community choir and, now that I no longer work shifts, I am able to commit to regular practices.  I have really enjoyed being part of the choir, learning new songs and singing in harmony. I have made new friends too. It was great to give our first concert in March and it must have been good cos our 20yr old son enjoyed it!

I am happy to have found your choir, as I never thought I would see the day I would sing in a choir (with my voice ! ). I really enjoy your choir and I feel it really helps me and I find that singing really helps to lift my spirits. I have always found there is nothing quite like music and song to help you get through the good and bad times in life. I think everyone should at least come and try your choirs as they will be pleasantly surprised

I would say that the Community Choir has given many of us confidence to do something we never thought possible, it brings friendship, fun, laughter, and a greater knowledge of music.  Steve does a great job inspiring, reassuring, cajoling, teaching, story telling and laughing, to bring out the good qualities in all of us.  It is one of the best things I have done for a long time.

Being a member of the Community Choir is inexpensive and brings a real sense of camaraderie, togetherness and fun. It also helps you to listen, be focused and builds your confidence through teamwork

Community Choirs UK gives a wonderful opportunity for people to get together and sing whatever their ability or age and all that is required is that you enjoy singing!!

Pauline

When I first heard about the choir starting up, I saw it as an opportunity to join something that I used to love doing when I was younger. I arrived at the venue and nearly turned away but I grabbed hold of all my courage and went in. I'm so glad I did. I love it. I've made new friends, my confidence is on the up, I enjoy the challenge of learning new songs and I get such a buzz out of singing in a big group. It's great!

Maria

A friend invited me along to the Community Choir and I loved it from the word go. I've made so many new friends and the singing is so uplifting.  We sing some really current songs as well as some old favourites.  We did our first concert a few weeks ago and it was so much fun!

Community Choirs UK - When you sing, you never actually hear the sound that others hear. You need an expert like Steve Flashman to patiently guide and encourage you to bring out the best in your voice

Denise

Although we are both novices, and have only been coming a short while we feel privileged to be in the company of so many enthusiasts at the Community Choir. We enjoy the company, the training and are finding our own voices- so long they have been unused! To have this sort of education in our lives has put a spring into our step and we look forward to each and every meeting.
