Peckham Rye Sings community choir on Mondays - new term


Xenia

Recommended Posts

Peckham Rye Sings is a fun and friendly community choir based in Peckham and led by local choir leader Xenia Davis.


Our new term starts on Monday 4th September and runs up to Christmas. Anyone is welcome to join, at any point in the term.


We meet on Monday evenings from 7.30-9pm at the Copleston Centre, Copleston Road, SE15 4AN. We sing beautiful a cappella folk, gospel and world music songs in 3 and 4 part harmony. All songs are taught by ear.


We were founded in June 2015 and we?ve grown to around 45 members.


Everyone is welcome to come and sing with Peckham Rye Sings, whether your singing is limited to the shower or you belt out ballads on the London Overground. There is no need to read music, and you don?t need to audition.


Your first session is 100% free! After that it?s ?7 waged/ ?5 concessions per week. If ?5 ever feels out of range, come along anyway and pay what you can, or don?t pay. Money should never be a reason for not singing!


Come along every week, or just come once or twice a term, whatever works for you. No need to commit to every week ? we get that people have busy schedules!


We usually do 1-2 performances per term. We?ve sung at the Southbank Centre, at local community Wassailing events, at the launch event of Peckham Citizens, at local community festivals, Sing For Water, and we?ve flash mobbed the London Overground. We took part in Singing For Unity events in London over in 2016. Performing is totally optional though, it?s fun, but not everyone?s cup of tea, so if you?re not into performing, that?s totally fine.


'How do I join?', you ask! Just come along on a Monday evening at 7.30. We don?t have auditions, and there are no limits to how many people can join per part.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
