Join our rehearsals

We always welcome new members. As usual, we rehearse most Wednesdays from 6.30 pm until 8.00 pm here at The Laura Centre. If you would like to be a part of TLC Voices just come along. Check the calendar for exact rehearsal dates.

We are a community choir so no auditions. Just turn up and share in the joys of singing. We are currently rehearsing for the annual Laura Centre Memorial Service which is held annually in May. As in the previous 2 years we are hoping to be joined by Great Bowden Recital Trust Adult Choir so you will have the opportunity to perform in a choir of approximately 50

We have our own car park or there is plenty of on-street parking. If you use our car park be sure to ask for a parking pass. If you use on-street parking make sure you are not in a permit only bay.

If you have any questions or would like to talk to us about joining then you can phone Tony on 07813 536315 or email him at tony@thelauracentre.org.uk

We are having a rest for the summer…

…but we will be back in action on 6th September 2023 at 6.30pm here at The Laura Centre. If you are interested in exercising your vocal chords just come along. We are a community choir so there are no auditions. The first couple of weeks are free as a taster just to see if you enjoy it. After that, it is only £4 per week (payable for the term or the remainder of the term. If you want more info just complete the form on our contact page and we will get back to you.

Back At Last

Finally, we can announce the return of TLC Voices. After nearly two years we can now return to full rehearsals here at the centre. Following the latest government announcement, the management team at The Laura Centre has given us the thumbs up to ‘restart’ the choir. Our first rehearsal will be on Wednesday, February 9th starting at 6.30 until 8.00.

Why not give it a try:
Singing is good for the body as well as the soul so why not give it a try. For the first few Wednesdays, we will be offering taster sessions which will give you the opportunity to come along and have a go without committing to anything long term. All you need do is just turn up. We provide all music etc. This is a community choir so there are no auditions you just turn up and sing. So we have an idea of number it would be useful if you can call Tony on 07813 536315.

Parking? Not a problem as we have our own car park at the rear of the centre which is also where you enter the building. If you like it and want to stay it will only cost you £3 per week (this is to cover the cost of the pianist and the music). Finally, you don’t have to be a past or present client of the centre – everyine is welcome.

Further delays on rehearsals

Having only just started back before Christmas, the new Covid situation has put us back again. Because of the volatile situation with Covid it has been decided that we cannot start rehearsals in January as expected. For safety reasons the TLC management has decided that they cannot risk having lots of people together in a small room and therefore rehearsals are currently suspended.

Covid delays start of rehearsals

Please note that rehearsals are only suspended. It is still our intention that TLC Voices will continue and we hope to start again in February although we cannot yet confirm this.

When we do start back we are hoping that, after spending so much time not socialising, you will be keen to join us for a fun evening of singing. For up-to-date information keep visiting this site or complete the contact form and we will contact you when things return to some sort of normality.

Thankyou

We Are Back

We are pleased to announce that rehearsals will be starting again on Wednesday 29th September at the usual time of 6.30pm here at The Laura Centre. It has been a long time coming but at last, we can start excercising our lungs again. We even have our first booking on November 28th at The Laura Centre ‘At Home’ event.

If you are interested in joining us give Tony a call on 07813 536315 just so we have an idea of numbers. The first couple of weeks are free just to see if you enjoy it with the cost being just £3 per week after that. All music is provided with rehearsal tracks usually being available on download.

Latest Situation re COVID

With the latest announcement from the government we will not have time to start again before the summer break. With this in mind it has been decided that choir rehearsals will not start again until September/October. An exact start date will be announced later.

Thank you to all the members and prospective members for their patience. See you later.

Coronavirus Update (Jan 2021)

Sad to say that we are still in the same position as when we last posted. Although we can now look forward to a vaccine we are still a long way from being able to restart the choir. Current choir members can keep up to date via the WhatsApp group. For prospective members, we can only recommend that you monitor this site. If you would like to join when we do restart you can register your interest via our contact page.

Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this terrible virus and our thanks go to all NHS, front line and key workers.

Stay safe.

CORONA VIRUS UPDATE

Due to the current situation regarding the Coronavirus it is, with regret, that we are postponing choir rehearsals until further notice. Existing choir member will be updated via the WhatsApp group. Others should monitor this page where will post updates as and when we get them.

This is a sad situation for all and our good wishes go out toa ll affected by this terrible situation.
