New Singers

New Singers are always welcome

Please contact us before you come to sing with us. Then when you arrive at your first session, please make yourself known to the evening's leader. Read on for a few more key points ……

  1. You do not need to be able to read music (most of our singers don't).
  2. There are no auditions.
  3. You will not be expected to sing solo.
  4. There is no formal membership of the SDFS, no formal fees or subscriptions, and no joining fee - but we usually ‘pass round the hat’ at each session to invite contributions (currently £2 each) to go into the shared SDFS funds pot for future needs and expenses.  (If needing to pay hire charges where we meet, we may also seek a small contribution per singer to help cover these extra costs.)
  5. The first few times you come you may be able to borrow copies of the words to sing from at the session, but thereafter please try and have your own copies (which can be downloaded and printed from this site).
  6. You may come to just our regular singing sessions, or you may also want to join in with our public performances. Any singer can volunteer to join the groups for our public performances (if to a maximum number this will be on a first-come first-served basis), but there is never any pressure to do this.  If interested in performing with us we politely ask that you make a commitment to attend our regular and any extra pre-event sessions to ensure you are up to speed with the songs we'll be using. 
  7. Our regular singing sessions take place once a month in each of three locations (see below for details). You can choose to attend any or all of these sessions, regularly or occasionally. Our Worthing sessions tend to attract a large number of singers, with smaller groups at our other venues.
  8. Before coming to any of our singing sessions, always consult the "Diary Dates" page to confirm the date and venue, in case our regular arrangements have had to change.

Please take a look around the rest of this website to find out more about us and what we get up to. If you have any questions, contact us at: southdownsfolksingers21@gmail.com
