Sing for Joy is a community choir, amazingly in it’s 10th year now, that runs every fortnight on a Friday evening from 7.30 to around 9 pm during term time – we usually sing for an hour then have a cup of tea\/coffee and a chat. It is open to any adult who wants a chance to sing without the restrictions of attending every week or having to audition. \u00a0The venue alternates between the St Mary’s church hall in Over and the Village Institute, Longstanton. The choir are a friendly bunch and very welcoming to newcomers!\u00a0 There is a real mix – some read music, some don’t, but songs are taught by rote so that everyone has a chance to pick things up. We sing all sorts of material, but a lot of it is musical theatre, as this is my background; however I try to mix it up a bit so that there’s something for everyone. Come along and join us! \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We invite you to celebrate Spring with a smile and a song at St Mary’s Church, Over on Friday 8 May at 7:30 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entry is free, and refreshments will be provided (donations welcome for Arthur Rank Hospice charity)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
