We welcome new members at any time, but we are having a special new members’ evening on Wednesday 19 September at 8pm, at the Secular Hall, Humberstone Gate. This will be a chance to listen to a few songs from our repertoire and begin to learn and join in with them too. We are an open-access choir – there are no auditions, and you don’t have to be able to read music. If you’re interested in singing songs for positive political change with friendly people, please come along!
