What our choir members have to say…
'Being in Local Vocals choir has brought me a sense of belonging, and given me opportunities to make new friendships. I love the access to all rehearsal locations, meaning I have every opportunity to develop my vocal techniques, breathing, pitch and harmony skills'
'As singing has proven to reduce stress, increase endorphins, and build confidence, I routinely benefit from being a part of an amazing choir, that gets to perform across the North West. There's lots of shared fun and laughter, with talented and experienced Choir Leaders, who make the whole experience invaluable'

What happens at a
Local Vocals Blackburn session?
Every Thursday evening, we come together for 90 minutes of singing, laughter and connection.
A typical session includes:
• A warm welcome and time to settle in
• Simple vocal warm ups to get everyone comfortable
• Learning uplifting songs in easy to follow harmony parts
• Singing together with no pressure to perform alone
• Plenty of encouragement, support and a good laugh
No need to read music, just come along and enjoy it.
After the rehearsal, you can log onto the online Members' Area to access your lyrics, harmony tracks and extra resources so you can practise at home if you want to, as well as signing up to sing at local and regional events.
Blackburn’s Local Vocals is about so much more than singing. It is a chance to step away from the rush of the week, enjoy a relaxed evening, have a laugh and spend time with a wonderful community of local people.
Many of our members join because they love singing, but stay because of the friendships, confidence and sense of belonging that grows week by week.
New to the area, looking to meet people or wanting something for yourself after work? Our Blackburn evening choir is a brilliant place to connect, unwind and do something uplifting each week.
