We don’t often get the chance to meet up for a coffee and a chat — but on Saturday 31st January we do, and we’ll enjoy a good sing as well. Singing is great for our health and wellbeing. It’s fun, relaxing, and brings people together.
Men often say “we can’t sing” – well it doesn’t sound like that at the football or rugby!
Despite the photo at the top of the page, this is a relaxed, friendly morning. There’s no pressure, no need to read music, and no singing experience required. We’ll learn a few songs you’ll probably already know or recognise.
We’ll start with a hot drink at 10:00am before learning some new songs and remembering old favourites. Please bring a bit of lunch which we will share together at midday, before we finish around 12:30–1:00 - perhaps with a few new friends.
It’s not religious, it’s open to all men, and friends are very welcome.
