Welcome
We are an award-winning women’s harmony chorus with a unique vocal blend.
We are proud to be well established in the Greater Manchester region, having supported the community for almost 30 years. Our dynamic group of genuine friends is warm, vibrant and performs with style.
While you may not think we have the time between entertaining and competing, we also run regular workshops, singing for fun, friendship, and wellbeing and we are active at charity events in and around the region.
Our group is expanding and welcomes other women who love to sing. We are delighted to have members in their 20s up to their 80s. New members are mentored in vocal and presentation techniques and, while we are continually improving, it is not just about singing! Members are involved in various social outings, which are always memorable and provide something of interest for everyone.

And if we can't persuade you to hire or join us, perhaps these talented and wise people can:
“Sing, Sing a song, Sing out loud, Sing out strong, Sing of good things, not bad, Sing of happy, not sad, Sing, Sing a song, Make it simple, To last your whole life long, Don't worry that it's not good enough, For anyone else to hear, Sing, Sing a song.”
Joe Raposo
“When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.”
Monserrat Caballé
“I don't really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won't forget it.”
Britney Spears
“Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“I don't know what happens to me on stage. Something else seems to take over.”
Maria Callas
“I don't know what other singers feel when they articulate lyrics, but being an 18-karat manic-depressive and having lived a life of violent emotional contradictions, I have an over acute capacity for sadness as well as elation.”
Frank Sinatra
