Spring time finally feels like it has arrived and we have had a lovely term of singing fun in the wonderful, newly-refurbished church hall next to St. Margaret’s Church, Putney.

The lighter evenings are also most welcome and we are looking forward to the summer term, including with our concert at St. Mary’s Putney on July 20th, as well as a choir party, an events planning meeting plus plenty more rehearsal fun.

We are always open to new singers who we are sure will particularly enjoy our repertoire this season; favourites include Mambo Italiano, We’ve Only Just Begun and Somewhere Only We Know.

Roll on the summer!

We’re excited to be back for a new term of singing fun, commencing Wednesday 10th January at 8pm. As always, we’ll be rehearsing at St. Margaret’s Church Hall in Putney Park Lane and it’s a great time to join our wonderful community choir. Singing brings lovely people together and also has health benefits for those who suffer with breathing difficulties, low mood or stress and anxiety.

This term, they’ll be plenty of new music to get stuck into plus we’ll be bringing out some of our older repertoire to polish and perfect.

Get in touch if you’d like to join us!

Wishing all our members and followers a very Happy New Year!

We’re all very excited to be singing again on Wednesday 13th September!

However, choir life didn’t stop completely during the summer break. Many choir members enjoyed an evenings’ picnic on Putney Common, giving everyone the chance to catch-up on news.

Last weekend, a few members of the choir were lucky enough to be asked to take part in some filming for an upcoming thriller called Naked, which due to premiere on Sky Max in November. We can’t wait to to see them on the big screen!

This term, we will be performing as part of the Brighter Living Festival that is taking place all over the borough – details to follow. And, as always, our term will finish with our Christmas Concert on Saturday 9th December at St Mary’s Church, Putney.

And you can join in the fun too! We always welcome new singers and this is a great time to come along and find out more about our fun and friendly community choir.

It seems as if every concert performed by the Dover House Singers is better than the last, but the latest which took place in St Mary’s Church on 15 July exceeded all expectations. The performance was joyful, and if the enthusiastic applause was anything to go by, seemed to strike a chord with the audience. Although the idea of a singalong may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the entire audience joined in unreservedly with Daydream Believer and Do-Re-Mi. 

Highlights of the evening were the choir’s rendition of Moon River, the medley of Beatles’ songs and the tribute to the Everly Brothers.  The proceeds of the concert from the raffle and other donations will be given to Re Generate Rise, to top up the total, already in excess of £13,000, donated by the Singers to date .

The new term begins on 13 September at St Margarets Church. Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening. This is a non-audition community choir open to all so if you are interested in coming along, get in touch!

We are excited for our forthcoming Summer Concert on Saturday 15th July at 7pm. We’ll be performing at St. Mary’s Church, Putney High Street with our summer repertoire of fantastic songs! As well as some choir favourites such as Our House, Karls Jenkins’ Adiemus and The Rose, we’ll be bringing new repertoire to our audience including a medley of Beatles’ plus a tribute to the Everly Brothers.

As always, there is FREE ENTRY for everyone, but refreshments and a raffle will help us support our chosen charity, Regenerate-RISE, who support the isolated elderly in the local area. The choir are very grateful to all the local businesses who have donated wonderful raffle prizes this year.

Do join us! And bring 10 friends!

We can’t wait to be singing together again next week!

There will be some exciting new songs to get stuck into, plus a quiz night and our annual summer concert to look forward to in July.

Why not join us? We are a fun and friendly community choir open to all, however experienced (or inexperienced!) you may be at singing.

We finished the Christmas performance season with two wonderful musical events.

Our concert, which took place at St. Mary’s Church on Saturday 17th December, was a huge success. As well as welcoming the Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr. Jeremy Ambache, we also had an audience of over 100 friends and family which ensured our singing felt extra appreciated! We look forward to finding out the total raised during the evening in the coming days.

On Wednesday 21st December, some of the choir met at The King’s Head pub in Roehampton to sing a few carols and festive songs. The real fun came afterwards – plenty of mulled wine and great chips provided to us on the house!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all our singers, their friends and family, and our followers near and far.

Our choir has had a busy few days this week, out and about in the local community with two wonderful festive singing events.

On Tuesday December 13th, we visited Linden Lodge school to entertain the staff and students who took a very active role with some fun action songs and amazed us with their enthusiasm for Christmas carols.

On Wednesday December 14th, we visited Glenthorpe Housing in Putney Park Avenue to sing our seasonal repertoire for the residents, who were very appreciative. The choir were rewarded with hot chocolate and warm mince pies afterwards!

We are now getting very excited for our concert on Saturday 17th December, in the presence of the Mayor of Wandsworth, Councillor Jeremy Ambache. Fingers-crossed that we will raise plenty of money for Regenerate-RISE, to add to the £11,700 that we have already collected.

We are very excited about this year’s Christmas Concert which takes place on Saturday 17th December at St. Mary’s Church from 7pm. As always, there will be a varied repertoire including seasonal favourites such as Silent Night, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Amid the Winter’s Snow. Plus, they’ll be some congregational singing for everyone to join in with! The choir will be providing refreshments and our (now legendary) hamper raffle, all in aid of raising funds for Regenerate-RISE. We hope to see you there!
