Real Voices is a community of non-auditioned contemporary choirs in South London. Open to anyone who loves to sing, we strive to challenge expectations of what a non-auditioned choir can achieve whilst having a brilliant time in the process. Backed by our professional house band, we perform choral covers of classic pop/rock favourites, indie gems, modern alt-folk anthems and recent chart smashes. 

We believe you don’t have to have musical experience in order to be musical so we welcome those who have never sung in a choir before: a heads up that we’ll work you quite hard though! All we ask is that you can sing in tune. If in doubt, ask your most honest friend! 

Some of us read music, some don’t: either is fine with us. We do use sheet music in rehearsals but teach in a way that works for both readers and non-readers.

Fridays | 19:00 - 21:00
