Welcome

to West Bridgford
Social Singers

We are a community choir based in Nottingham, UK

We sing a wide range of songs including tunes from the shows, traditional ballads, contemporary material and Gospel melodies. We rehearse in West Bridgford Methodist Church Hall, but we are not a church choir and sing a varied repertoire (see below).

Please see the About Us page for our Aims and History.
See our Who's Who page to get in touch about anything to do with the choir.

We are currently FULL and unable to accept any new members.
Anyone interested in joining our choir is welcome to contact us to be added to our waiting list for taster sessions.

Please use the menu bar at the head of this page to navigate through our website.

So, what sort of music do we sing ?

Below is a list of songs we have sung in the recent past.
