The Singing Club

The Singing Club is based in Monmouthshire and is made up of four open access community choirs.

We meet and rehearse separately on different days of the week in Chepstow and Usk, but learn the same songs and come together for performances.

The Singing Club is for anyone who wants to sing…

No auditions
No experience necessary
You don’t have to be able to read music
You don’t have to sing on your own

Experience the joys of singing together…

The Singing Club is a very friendly, supportive and sociable group of people who have fun singing together. Very much a community singing club, everyone is made to feel very welcome and we look after each other. There is always a ‘chat break’ at half time

If you can talk you can sing…

We have an eclectic repertoire of classical, spirituals, folk, madrigals, show and ‘popular’ songs, singing mainly in two and three parts. As well as having a huge amount of fun, we work on developing vocal technique, breath control and improving our musicianship.

Singing is good for the mind, body and soul…

We do perform regularly and over the years we have raised thousands of pounds for local causes and charities. However, performing is definitely not compulsory or expected. The important thing is to enjoy singing together at the weekly sessions.

The Chatelaines

The Chatelaines are a women’s chamber choir that started some years ago as a sister organisation to the Singing Club. They are fully independent but we have strong bonds of friendship and we are led by the same Musical Director, Jayne Thomas.
