I have started a leader training course with and I am excited to see where this new chapter of discovery will take me.

I had a transformative singing experience at a session in Colchester lead by .kate and experienced the “magic” of female A Capella group singing. It was a supportive, non judgemental liberating experience that reminded me of the historical roots of community group singing. Since then I have attended the London gatherings and finally took the decision to train to become a leader so that other women can experience the magic. ✨

I have had a wonderful day celebrating young voices. It really is the highlight of the spring term hearing students from various primary schools in Essex come together after a couple of months practice for one hours rehearsal, with a band, to then sing to their family and friends.

This weekend I had the privilege of singing with an amazing group of humans in conducted by my dear friend

It has been such a highlight of my week singing with this group, making new friends sharing highs and lows. It’s more than just performing, it’s self care, it’s community, it’s family, it’s feel good, it’s life.

I am so proud of my mum for also taking on the challenging of learning all the songs in one term. She suffered a stroke about 2.5 years ago and has had made amazing progress. She is the definition of determination and proof that you can truly can do anything you put your mind to!
