Welcome to The Folk Choir!


Our new term starts this week, Thursday 11 April!

We meet on Thursday evenings from 7pm - 8.30pm at the West Ashgrove Uniting Church Downstairs Hall. This term goes from 11 April to 13 June, ten weeks.

There is a friendly welcome and a cuppa waiting for you from 6.45, and we do a gentle warm-up from 7pm.

The Folk Choir explores songs in two, three and four-part harmony, including call-and-response songs such as shanties, a ballad or two from the Child collection, and works by contemporary folk songwriters. Each night starts with vocal warmups and short songs, then working on parts for new songs, and finally finishing with a big sing. There's no need to be able to read music, and there's no audition, just come and enjoy singing. Casual attendees are welcome.
