What happens at a singers' night?
We're glad you asked!
Singers' nights are informal evenings where everyone is encouraged to share a song or a tune.
And there is no pressure: you are welcome to just listen and join in with a chorus or two.
Our next singers' night is on Sunday 5th October from 8pm
Multicoloured images of musical instruments and musical notes
