For whatever reason, if someone needs to stay home, physical mobility challenges or caring responsibilities, we have an online choir called ‘Virtually Tuneless’ where we ‘sing like no one is listening’ on zoom on Tuesdays from 8-9pm. No matter how good or terrible your voice, it’s an endorphin-boosting hour of choosing to ‘sing like no one is listening’ with like-minded people. Need access to either a laptop, computer, tablet (or worst case scenario smart phone) - the bigger screen the better! |

“Choosing to ‘sing like no one is listening’ and ‘dance like no one is watching’ provides more of a workout than you might think. Singing gets the blood pumping round the body, the whole body is free to move in a way that feels good and your cheeks and face get a workout from all the smiling! The best thing about Tuneless Choir is that you don’t have to have any singing talent or ability, it’s all about embracing whatever noises you do make and there is zero judgement. Doors open at 7.45pm and to claim your ‘free sing’ mention the ‘7 days of focus’ promo week. As a town centre venue, parking is available in any of the town centre car parks within a 5-minute walk of the venue. Bring with you a water bottle, any eyewear you need to see at a distance (lyrics on screen) and a sense of adventure! “ |
