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!

POPCHOIR starts back after half term on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 25th from 8.00-9.30pm, at Clapham Manor School, Belmont Road, Clapham SW4 0BZ More information at www.popchoir.com . Call 0845 5 190 890 info@popchoir.com

Southfields Theatre Group (STG) was formed in 2008 by like-minded Southfields SW19 residents who felt there was an amateur dramatics gap to fill in the village.

The group has now expanded to twenty-five active members. Some are budding actors, some are evergreen thespians. Others play vital production and organisational roles, providing sets and lights, technical, visual and written creativity, costumes and props, as well as pulling in good audiences and balancing the books.

Reflecting the local community's interests, STG's repertoire combines carefully chosen plays with sharp revues and riotous pantos. We also hold drama workshops, classes in acting techniques, play-readings and theatre excursions.

Venues include The Earl Spencer on Merton Road, St Barnabas Church, and St Michael's School. Most rehearsals are at the Aspire Centre, Southfields Community College.
STG productions
2009 ‘Forty’, ‘Cinderella’
2010 ‘Murder in Company’, ‘1001 Arabian Nights’, ‘Hang out the Flags’ – a revue
2011 ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’, ‘RolePlay’, a Wandsworth Revue
