welcome to Singalong
Singing in the Community
In February 2019 Singalong was born! Run by Alison and Lorraine, they held their first community Singalong in Polgooth village hall. Nine brave souls arrived and spent the next 90 minutes singing to backing tracks with lyrics, & getting to know each other over coffee & biscuits. Since then Singalong has gone from strength to strength, with an average of 30 people attending fortnightly sessions. The venue is now Charlestown church hall. Sessions are full of fun & laughter, with an opportunity to make new friends.
Good for Everyone
Did you know that singing strengthens the immune system, it improves your posture, lowers stress levels, boosts mental alertness, increases confidence and it creates a sense of community.
Join Us
If you sing in your shower or car and fancy brightening up your day, come along and singalong with us! This is not a choir, it's a safe and friendly space where you can find your voice. Group singing brings people together, increasing a feeling of community and belonging.
What happens at a Singalong?
We recommend you arrive in plenty of time before the session starts. You will be given a warm welcome, & the fee is only £3.50 per session, payable on the door. The session starts with an informal gentle warm-up, and then we start singing songs. You‘ll be given song sheets, and backing music is played for everyone to sing along to. There is a short refreshment break during the session, at which tea, coffee, squash and biscuits are provided. It’s also a great opportunity to have a chat with some new people!
