Singing

We recently set up a singing group to fill the long and unfortunate absence of vocal music from Folksoc.

We meet every Monday at 8pm in Hatfield Chapel. We practice singing folk songs in harmony, to sing at folksoc's prestigious events, such as the ceilidhs and our May Day celebration.

It is not pressured, nor is it a big commitment - we just want to have fun with singing. Anyone is welcome, whether they are a Folksoc member or not, and experience of singing in a group is not necessary, although being able to sing in tune is of significant benefit... Do come and join in!
