And, with no auditions and no need to be able to read music, there are no excuses! Popchoir is fun, relaxed and surprisingly cool (that po-faced image of a choir couldn't be further from the truth). We sing brilliant songs, with fabulous arrangements and have a great time. Come and see for yourself!!
