Nunhead Community Choir

Nunhead Community Choir is a fun, friendly group that just loves to sing.   Our songs include pop classics, show tunes and folk songs from all around the world, the majority arranged by our young and talented musical director, Ben Swan.  We’re a very mixed group with people from all walks of life and every level of ability.  We’re not a classical choir, we’re not a church choir – we’re a community choir. You don’t need any training, experience or the ability to read music. The only rule is that you have to want to sing!

We meet and practise from 7.30 (warm up at 7.45pm) – 9.30 every Thursday evening during term times at Ivydale School and perform at all sorts of local events.

“…thank you so much for this past 6/7 months. One of the other January joiners was saying in the pub last night that joining Nunhead Community Choir was the best thing he’d done this year, and I have to say I agree!
