London’s friendliest choir!

‘The songs you always wished choirs sang.’

NEW SKYLINE CHOIR STARTING ON MONDAY NIGHTS 

 

Hi. Welcome to our choir page. We now do three sessions per week: Monday evenings (starting in September 2026) in a beautiful space at Aquarius Golf club, overlooking the reservoir; weds lunchtimes  in our very large garden (or upstairs at the Clockhouse pub);  and Thursday evenings online in real time with people from across the UK and Ireland. First session free. First month half price. Then 40 pounds per month or 12 pounds per session (concessions for low wage and unemployed and family members).  Subscribers can come to as many weekly sessions as they wish. 

We are excited to introduce the new Skyline choir on Monday evenings. While this is geared towards all singing levels, it will hopefully be a larger ensemble and we would suggest you come to the garden or online choir first if you feel like you need some more tailored help in basic singing.  Also, if you love singing in choirs, don’t have one near you,  are vulnerable, have mobility issues or simply like the idea of being able to sing with lots of people across the country (and Europe), then you should join our online choir. Using special, easy to install, free software, we sing together in real time, with no more delay than you would have in a normal sized rehearsal room. You also have the advantage of being able to change your own and other singers volume, perfect for learning tricky parts and for those who are hard of hearing. Come and have the complete choir experience again from the comfort of your own home.

Here are our Livestreamed Christmas Concerts. No post production of any kind.

Wednesday lunchtimes choir is 12pm – 1.15pm (late arrival, or early departure is fine.)    We do NOT use backing tracks, singing either acapella or with guitar or piano. All members get simple lyric charts (with harmony notes written in), plus the option of notated choral scores and audio learning tracks. We pride ourselves on being very bold in our choice of material; most of what we want to sing can’t be found in choral arrangement books, so they are often our own arrangements. In the last few years we have sung: Doo wop; African Township; Folk; M.T; Choral; Contemporary: including: Dylan;  Neil Young, classic Elton, Springsteen, Clash, Thomas Tallis, Bob Marley, The Supremes,  Joan as Policewoman,  Bowie, Leonard Cohen and  Earth Wind and Fire, plus we gathered a mob of friends and performed the choral version of Dan’s christmas single. (performance starts halfway through)

The choirs are non audition, and the emphasis is on having fun and connecting with new friends, whilst developing a sense of how the language of music actually work. It’s also about finding a way into music as a ‘non musician’. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and a collegiate approach. However, if you have previously tried choral singing and found that despite your best efforts you just can’t hold a tune, we would suggest some individual lessons before joining, or perhaps another hobby. Ukelele is fun!

Dan Maitland has led a number of London choirs  including: South London Cares, The Royal Festival hall choir, Streatham and Nunhead Community Choirs and the Telegraph staff choir. He was the choir leader for Goose Green Community choir for a number of years, but is all better now (only kidding). He is also a singing and instrumental teacher, in groups and one to one and has released 2 albums of his own material.
