 A new community choir for Hullavington-It Begins

(updated 28th Sept)

Remember only a few days back when  Chris Samuels of Naked Voices  was taking soundings to see if there was sufficient interest  to start up a regular voice workshop?  Well there has been a good response and there will be a voice workshop in Hullavington Village Hall  every Friday afternoon. In addition to polishing up and improving your voice,  Chris also assures me that anyone can be taught to sing. And If  you can't sing it's  because you have never been taught  to. So, if like me, you just mouth the words on occasions when communal singing  cannot be avoided because your  voice sounds even less tuneful than  the drone pipe  on a set of bagpipes, then  the voice workshop  could be the answer  for us silent singers.
