The award winning Funky Voices ® was founded and launched in 2007 by Musical Director Sandra Colston MBE to meet a need to show how breath-taking collective voices can sound and feel for both the singers and audience; something fresh and new, a choir that sing modern music that can be enjoyed by everyone, no audition and no experience needed. Funky Voices sets itself apart from other community choirs offering singers a multitude of varied experiences ranging from once in a lifetime performance opportunities, chances to travel the world and also take part in the recording of albums. Every singer has the fantastic opportunity to learn a wide genre of songs per year, perform at all kinds of events, tour and compete in music festivals local and worldwide, record multiple albums for iTunes, appearances on TV and radio and perform alongside hugely established music artists. All Funky Voices singers are given these incredible opportunities, although everyone is more than welcome to take as little or as much out of their experience as they would like to.
Singing with Funky Voices will lift your spirits, improve mental health and give you that space and time to belt out tunes of fantastic arrangements with like minded music lovers at rehearsals AND all the amazing gig opportunities.
