Hi are there any similar in the S5/S9 area as I would love to join one too?

[maggi 10]

The National Street Choir Festival this weekend might be of interest.

Hey myself and a female friend are also looking for a singing group / choir.

 

Not too bothered about the area as have a car but don't want to have to travel miles.

 

We're looking for a group that takes on new and old songs, has a 'younger' membership (we're in our twenties) and isn't overly expensive to join.

 

We're both into a wide variety of music so would like to embrace that with the group but also keep it a bit more current than your traditional choir.

 

If that makes sense?!

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I live in Parson Cross and would be interested in any singing groups I could get to easily by bus. I've been doing internet searches, but my lack of knowledge of Sheffield limits me. The bus I use most often is the Stagecoach 83, so if it goes to anywhere that would be suitable, I'd love to know about it!

I'm also interested in amature dramatics.

[HelpYourself 10]

As there's a few different requests here I'd recommend the advanced search function on our website- http://www.sheffieldhelpyourself.org.uk/advanced.asp

Choose the second search option 'Search with 1 Keyword and a Postal District' and then select keyword CHOIRS or DRAMATIC SOCIETIES to see whats near you.

Searching with just Keywords will bring up the city-wide results.

 

hope this helps,
