All songs are taught by ear and we don’t expect anyone to learn The words off by heart. However, music can be made available for those who want it. We sing a range of different songs, including pop, gospel, world music and classical. We mainly sing songs with piano accompaniment, provided by our famous pianist, Geoff. We hold our own annual Concert, and we are often invited to sing at oTher local events such as The local MayFest. Our members come along for “enjoyment, friendship and satisfaction as well as singing with a group of like-minded people”. Singing is reputed to release endorphins in The brain, and we’ve certainly noticed amongst us a sense of well-being following rehearsals and in particular, Concerts. We are a very sociable bunch and often meet for a drink at The Chimp House on Gloucester Road following our rehearsal on Thursday evenings. Please do come along, new faces are always welcome. ...    less

The Joy Voices Choir has not stopped: we have chosen a song from our repertoire and each of us, from our own home, has recorded it. The result is, for us, a new performance, different from The usual, which we share to send you our best wishes so that you can spend this difficult period serenely, despite everything. Our thoughts and prayers are dedicated in particular to those who fight The virus in The front line, to those who work to guarantee us The essential services, to those who are alone, to those who are sick, to those who are in despair, to those who did not make it and to those who have lost a loved one. Let us send a message of hope for The future, raising our voices to The Lord, confident that He will listen to us and that we will soon return to embrace Him again. Let us remain distant but unite...    less
