What our choir members have to say…
'The best thing I have done in years. The community of Local Vocals is so friendly, and singing lifts you, no matter how you felt when you came in the room. And then there are lots of opportunities to sing at events and all of the other cool things on offer as part of our membership.'
'If you were thinking about giving it a try, DO! You won’t regret it!'

Lancaster'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.

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
Lancaster 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.
