What do cheshire pop choirs do?

We sing a variety of music covering current chart music, classic pop and rock songs, soul and Motown as well as musical theatre and anything else we like the sound of! We describe ourselves as a POP choir mainly because we sing whatever’s popular! Members of the choir will often make suggestions of songs they’d like to try and we do our best to pick at least one song each term which has been suggested by the group.

When we learn a new song we hand out lyric sheets but members also have access to sheet music that they can print off at home as this can be very useful for those who do read music. For those who don’t read music, we run a daytime workshop during Term 2 to teach you all about how to read music should you wish to learn. All songs at choir are learnt in a ‘call and response’ way- so the choir leader will sing your part to you and you sing it back until we’re happy you know it!

All choir members are also given access to downloadable rehearsal tracks so they can practice their parts at home and go over anything they miss if they’re unable to make it one week.

The emphasis is on having fun so we don’t take it too seriously but we do still manage to create a fantastic sound together which is very rewarding!

We welcome singers aged 16 and over.

CHESHIRE Pop choir Performances

We love giving the choir something to work towards and try to plan at least one performance at the end of each term. Performances can range from theatre stages to street busking, care homes, TV appearances and charity fundraising.

None of our performances are compulsory so if the idea of performing in front of a crowd doesn’t appeal to you that’s not a problem- you’re still very welcome to simply enjoy the process of learning the songs and singing in the rehearsals.

The choir is also available for outside performances and particularly on the run-up to Christmas we often get invited to sing in a variety of venues from local care homes to community parties to Peckforton Castle. We’ve also been involved in choir competitions and local school fates as well as being available for weddings. Whenever we are invited to perform we will first check whether we have enough choir members available to do it and will often put on extra rehearsals at the weekend to prepare.
