About Us
Originally founded by Kieran Quinn and called The Bella Voce Choir and Social Club, we had been running for almost 3 years and built up a considerable repertoire. Unfortunately Kieran had to leave us due to other commitments, we decided to carry on, learning along the way. Nobody wanted our choir to fold and everybody was pleased to help out. That was 2 years ago (now 2019) We now work together as a co-operative so that no one person is burdened with the all the work involved. That was 2 years ago and we are going from strength to strength being booked by local charities for performances with we are happy to provide free of charge.
Check out our videos to see some of our performances and socials on our video's page.
After a few months now as The Abbey Arms Rock Pop Choir, we continue to add new songs to our repertoire and put on public performances. Read about some of them on our News and Events page.
We are now looking forward to any new projects and challenges that come our way and will be extending our repertoire further.
We sing all popular Rock and Pop from artists such as: Oasis, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Bon Jovi, The Beatles, Elton John, The Monkees, Neil Sedaka, The Ronettes, Foo Fighters, Abba, Alice Cooper, The Script, The Kinks and many more.
We are always happy to welcome new members. We are a non-profit choir and charge a nominal £4 per session to cover room hire at "The Abbey Arms", with remaining funds going towards printing, stationery and other basic running requirements.
Thinking of joining a choir?
We are an informal and friendly bunch of people who do not have rigid rules or require new members to go through an audition. Everybody has the ability to sing and if you love singing, the chances are you won't sound too bad, and together we will sound great!
We have three main groups of singers: Baritones - deeper voices; Sopranos - the high voices; and Altos who fit into the middle range in between the Baritones and Sopranos. When you join you will pretty quickly work out where you fit in best.
We are more than just a choir, we have many other social activities such as curry nights, theatre trips, karaoke nights, social get-togethers and more.
Come along and have a taster session for free, promise we don’t bite!
