The award winning “Funky Voices” was founded and launched in 2007 to meet the community who sought a choir that sing modern music that can be enjoyed by everyone, NO AUDITION and NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Each Funky Voices rehearsal is taught by highly qualified and experienced music tutors. Sandra Colston BA Hons (Musical Director) arranges the music to suit the choir members, and to bring the music up to date and possible for a choir to sing.
The Sound
With passions for vocal harmonies, and personal influences being likes of; Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Luther Vandross, Brian McKnight, Michael Jackson. The aim is to bring a similar vocal energy to Funky Voices… From Emotional rich harmonies to Feel-good dance tracks, our repertoire includes, including “Take That”, “Michael Jackson”, “Queen”, “Supertramp”, making it an exciting and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The People
Funky Voices is not a ‘conventional’ choir due to the age range being open to ages 16 to 80 who come from all walks of life, who meet up to sing weekly, and although most members are not trained singers, together they make a wonderful sound and are full of energy (and laughter) . Some join purely for singing, others for the social aspect too, and many because of the exciting sound the collective voice makes. To date there are over 500 members in total.
The Effect
Joining Funky Voices helps you to gain confidence on both a personal level aswell as when singing and performing as well as being part of a rich wonderful sound of voices. Whether you are a member of Funky Voices or a member of the audience you will experience a fantastic feel-good factor and be buzzing all the way home. We aim to meet the community and their needs and are also raising money for charities in the area and beyond and will continue to do so. less
