TIVVY STREET CHOIR COMING
MONDAY MARCH 13th 2017 7PM - 9PM
VENUE TO BE DECIDED

Thrown out of the school choir ? Only ever sing in the car ? Experienced soul or choral singer ? Love singing but think you can't sing ? Maybe just want to get out a bit and make some new friends ?

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.
