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.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Adys Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September.  Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week.  It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor.  I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September.  They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.

      "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"?  Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum.  For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like,  within the forum rules, as can anybody else  Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
