Do you like to sing?

If you are interested in singing with us, we meet every Monday evening, except bank holidays, throughout the year at Beacon Church, Collingwood Drive, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 7JL.

Rehearsal time is 7.30 pm to 10.00 pm. We warmly invite you to come along and have a listen and even join in with warm ups. Get a taste of close harmony singing and whether it is for you. Our rehearsals are a mixture of vocal craft sessions and song learning. We have regular coaching sessions with some of the best coaches in the country and every rehearsal includes a great deal of laughter and fun.

Book Us For Your Event

The chorus accepts invitations to many types of events, small and large, for example, appearing on shows, singing at a variety of corporate and charity events, weddings, civil partnerships and celebrations of life events. We can develop our programme to suit any occasion. If you think a chorus may be too big for your occasion, you might want to consider a quartet. We have a silver medallist quartet within our chorus who are always ready to sing. Use the “Contact Form” on this page to book the chorus or a quartet. Just give us the date, time and venue and we will get back to you to arrange the booking.
