A warm welcome awaits you at our sessions. Whilst current members are typically aged 40 years plus, all ages and abilities are encouraged to join us. Many of us wouldn’t think of ourselves as musical but we have discovered that you don’t need to read music to make music. Our musical directors, Rachel Phillips and Sabrina Parente, are the magic ingredients who create our musical highs with a range of songs including (in alphabetical order):
Can’t Help Falling in Love, Connected, Famba Naye, Freedom is Coming, Gaudete, Heartbeat, Lovely Day, Mr Miller, Rhythm of Life, True Colours
There are around thirty regulars and we perform in public at least twice a year. We contribute to the Party in the City, as part of the Bath Festival every May, and we entertain visitors to the Widcombe Christmas Market with seasonal songs. We have even had the honour of singing to the Mayor in the Guildhall!
However, if performing live is not your thing, you are still very welcome to come to our weekly sessions to enjoy having a sing and having a social get-together… as we are a non-audition Choir
We're called Widcombe Choir because we were set up in Widcombe and that’s where we meet to sing. However, you don't have to come from Widcombe to join us! Everyone is welcome! Why not come along for a free taster session and join in! Get in touch… see section titled “Join Us” and send us your name and email address.
We meet, upstairs, at Widcombe Social Club, from 2pm to 4pm on Thursday afternoons during Terms. See “Term Dates” for more details about precise dates for each Term.
