Golden Voices is their group for the more experienced of us, with membership being exclusively open to over 50’s.

The choir learns all their music by ear, so there’s no need to be able to read music. They work through tunes at a steady pace, but don’t miss the opportunities to add harmonies and varied textures when they can. The choir’s repertoire isn’t limited by genre or style. They’re known for singing a wide variety of uplifting, joyful and heartfelt songs.

The group also regularly perform, there’s no pressure put on these performances, they are a chance to share Golden Voices’ work with a wider audience. Performing in this kind of way does wonderful things for each individual’s sense of self worth and confidence.
