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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
