Buy One Get One Free – Two performances for the price of one!

We are now recruiting singers for the above concerts and look forward to another exciting adventure.

Congratulations to everyone who performed in our last show in the Classics & Classical Rock concert at Symphony Hall and to those who will be performing Sing the Music of the Big Bands at the Town Hall. We can’t wait to work with you all again to deliver two more first class concerts.

Welcome to anyone new looking to join us for the first time, you are in for a treat!

We will be singing a selection of Gospel songs which is typical of this genre – it will range from traditional spirituals to the more modern arrangements made famous by many contemporary artists. This music is uplifting, vibrant and invigorating and will have everyone clapping and ‘dancing’ along.
We look forward to more wonderful concerts and to seeing you at the launch.
The preview evenings will take place on Tuesday 30th March and 6th April, 6pm at St. Columba United Reform Church, Chantry Rd, jct Alcester Rd, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8DL or Thursday 1st April and 8th April, 6pm at TBC

We are trying to increase our efficiency and create less paperwork for you and us! Our code of conduct will now be included with the music pack. You will receive it at the launch. We will ask you to sign two copies when you receive your next music pack or your first music pack (depending on whether you are a new or existing singer). You will then keep one copy and we will retain the other. We have streamlined our forms and hope to correspond with as many of you as possible by email, so that you can download the forms and send them to us or join on line. If you do give us an email address please make sure it is one you check regularly! Don’t worry if you don’t have an email address we will still be posting things, but hope to reduce the amount of envelopes we send out and the amount of paper involved! Our other plea is, to help us reduce the amount of reminders we send, please apply as early as you can. To this end we will always try and include stage payments. It makes a real difference to know how many existing singers and new singers we have before we start our advertising campaigns and again helps us to be more efficient.

The performance fee of £135.00 (including £20.11 VAT) includes both concerts. This fee is for your vocal coaching, a rehearsal CD and the performances at both concerts.

Information for new singers

There is a music pack deposit payable of £10.00 on application. This entitles you to receive the printed music. It is a deposit lodged with Sing Live to cover the music packs you are given. You must always return your music at the end of the concert in order to receive a new pack for the next one. If you choose to do no further concerts you get your deposit back on request. If you are an existing singer you have probably already paid this!

For security reasons all singers need a Security ID card in order to access concert venues. A separate fee of £6 is payable for this; please complete the form which will be in your music pack at the launch.

Please note that the performance attire will be confirmed in due course.

Rehearsals are held weekly on a set night from 7.30pm to 10pm (with odd movements for bank holidays) and there will be 2 rehearsals held on a weekend afternoon from 2pm to 5pm. Be prepared to be flexible, extra rehearsals may be planned if necessary. You will receive a full schedule of dates on application or you can obtain a copy in advance from the office.

Please make sure you apply as early as possible before the launch date.
