DESCRIPTION

We are a group who enjoy singing for pleasure. We don't take ourselves too seriously! Our songs are guitar led and sometimes "a cappella". We sing a variety of songs, including popular songs from the 1950's onwards, and some folk songs. Members are encouraged to make suggestions of songs they would like us to include. The emphasis is definitely on having fun and we have no pretensions to be a choir - indeed, we are strangers to perfection! So, if you would like to join us for a relaxing Singalong to take your mind off everything, you are very welcome, just contact the Group Leader for further details via the email above.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Parish Centre is behind the church and accessible from the passage at the side of the church or for car access through St Ambrose Primary School entrance in Leswell Street

The Band The Singers

 

Here are some events we have held in the past:

2020 - 2021 During the Covid Pandemic Satellites continued to meet once a fortnght on Zoom, which was great fun and helped many of  survive all the "Lockdowns" and still keep smiling!  We also organised many "Satellites in the Garden" events for the summer months, where fun singing sessions were held in various members' gardens - all properly socally distanced!

Singing Workshop November 16th 2018

Around 80 of us gathered together at Franche Community Church for a Singing Workshop led by Hilary Davies, a Community Choir Leader. We all had a such a great time, Hilary makes singing so much fun!  The harmonies we produced were amazing -  we didn't know we could sing as well as that!  

The Workshop was followed by a bufffet lunch, which was much enjoyed by everyone. It was a great day!

Macmillan Coffee Morning 2018

At our Satellites' Session on 20th September we raised an amazing £305 for Macmillan Cancer Support.  Well done and many thanks to everyone who supported this event!
