Gabalfa Community Choir

About Us

If you enjoy singing in the shower, but don’t feel you could exactly make it on The Voice, then Gabalfa Community Choir could be for you.

Members are of all ages and come from all walks of life. We are all united by one thing, though – a love of singing! The ethos of the choir is simple – it doesn’t matter whether or not you can sing well, or read music, you can still join with us and sing your heart out! There are no auditions and nothing to make a newcomer uncomfortable. We are here to make friends and to enjoy singing.

The health and psychological benefits of singing are well documented, and we love to encourage people who don’t normally sing to come along and experience the camaraderie and companionship that comes with belonging to a group, as well as the sheer joy of singing with others.

Under the direction of our wonderful leader, Vicky, and accompanied by the incredibly talented Phil, we enjoy learning a varied repertoire. We perform twice a year, once at Christmas and again at the end of the summer term.

Gabalfa Community Choir was founded in 2010 and members come from all over Cardiff. We rehearse each Friday in St. Marks church hall, Gabalfa, from 7pm to 9pm. Most of the time is spent singing (or laughing!) but we do take time out for a cup of tea (and home-made cake if you’re lucky!)

Membership fees are currently £20 per term - £15 for concessions. If you wish to spread the cost, subs can be paid monthly by standing order at a rate of £5/£3.75 per month. Music can be purchased at cost, (usually no more than £2) or you can borrow it for the duration of the lesson.

If you are at all interested, why not come along for a taster session any Friday evening. There’s no charge. Come along to St. Mark’s church hall at about 6.45 to introduce yourself. Alternatively, you can email Joy, Paul or Vicky and we can look out for you. If you have any queries, please get in touch.

We hope to see you soon!
