Just A Cappella has a repertoire which
includes popular songs of the 20th century, some doo-wop,
gospel and some swing and jazz style pieces and is willing
to try any style that appeals to its members. Just A Cappella
is keen to organise, and take part in, education workshop
days with other musical groups and has a commitment to
raising money for local charities.
New members
We are currently looking to expand our
membership particularly with tenors and basses but sopranos
and altos will be welcomed as well. No need to be able
to read music but an ability to hold a tune is essential.
If you haven't sung for many years, come and give it a
go, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Singing is good for your health, makes
you happy and when you sing with others it becomes a shared
pleasure. Members have a lot of fun working hard and enjoying
singing together. If you visited this website because
you may be interested in singing with Just A Cappella,
click here
to enquire about the possibilities. It would be helpful
to know what previous singing experience you have (if
any) and which voice part(s) you can sing. We have
experienced singing coaches in our ranks so if you want
to put your voice to the test before meeting with the
group then you should contact Steve at www.singvocal.co.uk
Chorus Director
Jean Digby, the Music Director, is a very
experienced performer and educator in the a cappella style.
Her previous quartet 'Sounds Familiar' were twice UK champions,
and she has also sung with two national award-winning
choruses, including one which was the category winner
in the Choir of the Year competition, as featured on BBC2
every other year.
Book Just A Cappella
Just A Cappella is available for performances,
both paid and charitable. Promoters of events, concerts
etc. can see its repertoire, and listen to some sound
samples, by clicking on Repertoire.
More information can be supplied by e-mail by clicking
here.
You can then be advised on how the group may best fit
in with your event. If Just A Cappella is too large a
group for your venue they may be able to recommend something
smaller, like a quartet, some of which can be found on
Links.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals are on Monday evenings. See
Find Us for details. Visitors
and potential members are always welcome, but it would
be wise to Contact Us to check
that there is a rehearsal on the evening you've chosen.
(Some of us visit a nearby pub afterwards)
