Northampton’s Singing4Pleasure group relaunched to focus on musicals

A Northampton singing group will be relaunched next week to focus around musicals.

Royal & Derngate’s Singing4Pleasure initiative is a community group to encourage people from all walks of life to sing and socialise.

The daytime sessions are run by a professional music tutor in a relaxed setting where people can make new friends and develop vocal skills.

Lucice Barnes who is running the newly launched sessions, specialises in musical theatre.

She said: “As musical director, my role is to ensure my singing groups are friendly and fun-packed, enjoying a range of popular songs. Everyone is welcome.”

The tutor intends to make sure there is a range of old-fashioned and contemporary songs for everyone to enjoy.

No experience is required to join the sessions and there is no audition process.

The sessions will start again on Wednesday March 4 between 12.30pm and 1.30pm.

The group runs every Wednesday during term-time and it is £6 a week to attend, which is payable termly.
