Be part of the Ukestral Voices Choir!

Jane Jelbart directs this community choir (with a little difference), teaching songs from around the world, as well as gospel, contemporary music and jazz repertoire. We have performed at numerous festivals, including the National Folk Festival in 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019.

We offer two opportunities to be a part of Ukestral Voices.

• Friday afternoons – this choir has been going since 2012
• Wednesday evening (started March 2017).

There is an emphasis on harmonising, learning vocal parts, improvising and even a bit of percussion.  Jane is keen to get the best from your voice and improve your vocal technique, however she is also keen on having fun and making sure everyone enjoys themselves.

This choir has grown out of our ukestras, and people’s enthusiasm for improving their singing skills. However we stand alone as well. People are encouraged to bring a uke to the choir but this is not essential. Did we say we have lots of fun?

Here is some evidence of that.
