Singing into your hairbrush can soon be a thing of the past, as Popchoir has come to Clapham! Rehearsals are weekly on Thursdays from 8.00 - 9.30pm and it's easy to join; There's no audition and no need to be able to read music - all you need is enthusiasm and commitment.
Popchoir is for anyone and everyone who wants to sing but has never found anywhere to do it before! So whether you’re a closet singer or first up at karaoke, a slightly apprehensive beginner or the next Beyonce/Robbie , a worn out mum or an overstressed commuter, Popchoir is waiting for you.
When you join Popchoir you’ll have the opportunity to sing some great songs with a bunch of other people, to polish them up, perform them in public for fun and for entertainment, to find and improve your voice, to spend an hour and a half every week getting that feelgood factor and to make some new friends in the process.
Sounds good? It is! It’s a lot of fun and we’d love you to join us. Come along and try the first rehearsal and see how you like it!
