Colyer-Fergusson Hall rang to the sound of voices raised in song last Thursday night, as the new Pop ‘n Soul Choir launched.

Catering to all abilities, and welcoming students, staff, and members of the local community, over sixty people came together to explore their voices, directed by Margate-based Meg Bird.

A new initiative we’ve launched as part of an evolving provision reflecting different avenues in which to make music, the new choir rehearses in Colyer-Fergusson Hall every Thursday at 7pm; and it’s not too late to join!

It was very exciting to see (and hear!) the new choir in action, and to welcome new people who’ve not been into Colyer-Fergusson before, as well as some familiar faces amongst the staff and student community. Singing is a vital aspect that promotes wellbeing, and there was certainly a vibrant atmosphere here on the night. We’re looking forward to what the choir has in store this year.

If you’d like to join the choir, contact Sophie Meikle, the Music Administrator, on s.v.meikle@kent.ac.uk to be added to the mailing list. Next time, it could be YOU singing too!
