Singing for Better Breathing - free classes

A colleague sent me the following and I wondered if it might be of interest to anyone in the local area? Please note that I'm not the person to contact with any queries - that would be: [email protected]


NEW 'SINGING FOR BETTER BREATHING' GROUPS - FREE OF CHARGE SINGING FOR PEOPLE WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS.

Do you know anyone in South London (especially Southwark and Lambeth) with breathing problems? I'm running two singing groups for people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders).


The groups will become part of a research project measuring how regular singing affects lung function. There is some evidence which shows that singing helps lung function and supports people with COPD to manage their condition already - but there is a need for a better evidence base.


One group is at Morley College near Waterloo and the other is in East Dulwich. A third group is being run by a colleague of mine in Surrey Docks. Details below.


The workshops are free of charge. And they will be FUN! And as with all my singing workshops, you don't need to think you 'can sing' - complete beginners are very warmly welcome.


People of all ages, genders and backgrounds are welcome. Young people and children under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult. The venues are accessible for wheelchair users.


The classes are also are open to the friends/family of people with COPD.


Please do pass on these details and encourage any relevant people to come along!

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
