Just great songs, great people, and a brilliant atmosphere.
What our choir members have to say…
'I can honestly say, that at 70 years old, this is the best thing I’ve ever done. I can be utterly down in the dumps, but after a couple of hours of rehearsals, I feel so uplifted.'
'So many events to attend too, where we get to meet and sing with the other choirs’ members. Can’t wait for next season and what it brings. Long may Local Vocals reign!'

Bury's Local Vocals is about so much more than singing. It’s a place to get out of the house, enjoy a proper brew, have a laugh, meet people from your local area and feel part of something positive each week.
Many of our members join because they love singing, but they stay because of the friendships, the confidence and the feeling of belonging.
Whether you’ve recently moved to the area, retired, had a change in routine, or simply want to do something uplifting for yourself, our Bury choir is a brilliant way to connect with like-minded people. You're more than welcome to come on your own. In fact, lots of people do. We’ll make sure you’re looked after!
Coming on your own? Lots of people do and quickly become part of the choir family.

What happens at a
Local Vocals
Bury session?
Every Monday 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.
