Welcome to JUNCTIØN18 ..... the ladies choir with a difference
Singing is Fun ......
Unlike many choirs, we shall not be singing ANY very serious choir music! We'll be singing Adele, Taylor Swift, Billy Eilish, Abba, Take That, Coldplay ......
Singing is Good For You ......
Many studies have shown that singing is good for your physical AND mental health. Sure to de-stress you and provide an enjoyable evening ........
Singing is Sociable ......
AND GUESS WHAT .........
-
No previous singing experience necessary
-
No audition ..... anyone can join !
-
Just come and enjoy yourself and have FUN
Who Can Join?
At JUNCTIØN18, we believe that everyone can sing and get enjoyment from joining in with a group of singers. That's why there are no auditions ... simply come along and have a go. Its open to any of the ladies from Crick and the surrounding villages. Hopefully everyone who comes along will have fun and really enjoy the experience, but if you don't think its for you .... well that's fine too. Your first evening is free and if you decide to stay, you simply pay a small 'subscription' each time to cover the cost of refreshments and new music.
Have a read of the comments made by some of the singers following our first concert ...........
What the singers say .....
''Just wanted to send a message to say how much I have enjoyed the Monday singing group over the past couple of months and look forward to many more singing sessions .....''
''I’m blown away each week hearing everyone build in confidence. This has been a phenomenal adventure of self belief for us all .....''
''I have always wanted to be in a group/choir and not sung properly since school choir days many years ago! It has definitely improved my mental health and confidence after a few very difficult years and I thank you all for supporting my journey'
''Thanks for the best evening. I feel like I’ve made a whole new bunch of friends, doing something so enjoyable. Very thankful Can’t wait to see you all again soon ''
''I’ve always wanted to sing in a choir but never had the confidence knowing I’m not a natural singer. I'm used to talking to big audiences but to sing in front of them! Unheard of! My family apparently were in tears , couldn’t quite believe that at 82 I was off on a new long awaited adventure!
'If I cannot fly .... let me sing'

Meet Our Choir Leader
(and local Crick resident)
Derek Gardner
Derek has a huge amount of experience of singing in chamber choirs and vocal ensembles and is a bass/baritone soloist.
He won't be much use in a Ladies choir then !
What he DOES want to do is to give the ladies of Crick the opportunity to mix socially and enjoy singing fun music and hopefully making a great sound as we get used to singing together !
