Tivvy
Street Choir is for you !
Thanks
so much for your interest in the street choir. Street choirs are all
inclusive community singing groups open to all irrespective of ability,
disability, health, wealth, age, rage - or anything else for that matter!
They
are great for community events - very relaxed gigs, performing indoors
or outdoors - festivals, pub gigs, charity events, whatever feels right
and whatever fits the bill. Always relaxed with music to match.
My background
is recording and performing over many years, rock, blues, soul r&b,
jazz as well as recording choirs, orchestras, heavy metal, opera - many
other genres. The first community choir that I started as a singing
group was some four years ago - focusing mainly on Soul and R&B.
Truth be known, we quickly broadened things out - all depending on the
likes of those involved as well as my own influences.
So no fixed
agenda except that the songs are generally uplifting, sometimes reflective,
the occasional world music influence, call and response, that kind of
thing. Generally nothing too superficial. Rather Soul, R&B, some
good pop, some social justice anthems as well, but always with a sense
of fun and not taking ourselves too seriously, but a willingness to
also sing about important stuff from time to time - whatever that means
! Some african djembe drums, a bit of percussion, guitar and keyboards
occasionally.
Some a capella as well (voices only, no accompaniment)
Open to everyone.
No auditions.
Lots of laughs.
Time for reflection
too.
