​A busy summer term for Northampton Sings – the choir supported two local events –
The Northampton Carnival and the Central Vineyard open day using the chance to
showcase the songs we have been learning. We’ve also worked on a special project
with the Legend on the Bench charity, which saw us in a recording syudio, watch this
space for more news on that soon!
After a well earnt rest over the summer, Northampton Sings has started off the new
term running! Sunday 13 th September saw choir members cheering and singing to
the Amazing Northampton Run runners – singing at the halfway point, was a good
opportunity to belt out several old favourites, including ‘Livin on a Prayer’ and ‘Wake
me Up’ complete with Kazoos!
Choir rehearsals have begun again, first week back and straight into learning a new
song as an a cappella! Events already planned for October and December.
First week is free then £3 per week – meet at Central Vineyard 7:00-8:30pm each
Sunday

Our community choir celebrated the end of 2025 by entertaining the Northampton festive public with a series of Christmas performances, delighting our members and our toe-tapping, sing-along audiences.

We began on Sunday 30th November at the Duston Christmas Festival, which featured a fantastic craft fair and was packed with stalls of beautiful, locally crafted goods from independent sellers. Performing in such a vibrant and busy festive atmosphere made it a really special start to our Winter performances.

This was followed by a performance at the Whitehills Pub on Sunday 7th December, where the whole pub swelled with sound and song. The audience loved it and eagerly joined in — they were singing and dancing throughout, including some wonderful moments from little ones joining in the festive fun.
Our final performance took place on Saturday 13th December at Northampton Railway Station. It was such a treat for passengers both arriving and leaving through the barriers — seeing their faces light up as they passed by was truly heart-warming. Some even sang along while trying to find their train tickets to put through the barrier! Even the station manager was glued to our performance, singing along, while others danced along as they waited.
Huge thanks go to Charlotte and Bethan, whose conducting and musical direction transformed the repertoire and brought fresh, exciting interpretations to the songs. Their creative leadership helped us deliver fantastic renditions, and we absolutely nailed Mr Blue Sky, along with several other favourites. As always, a big thank you also to all the volunteers who work tirelessly week after week to set everything up and support the choir.
We’re now looking ahead to the new term, which starts on Sunday 11th January, and anyone from the community is very welcome to come along and join us. It was a joyful end to the term and a real privilege to share our music with the community 

Well – what an end to a fabulous term!
Our final meet of the Spring term saw Northampton Sings! performing to a full audience of friends and family.  
The chosen charity was ‘Harry’s Rainbow’ Homepage - Harry's Rainbow which supports bereaved children in the local area.  Kind donations totalling £170 has been gratefully received by the charity.
The set list of both new and old songs, culminated in a singalong with the audience.  The performance was followed by a social for the choir, friends and family which was enjoyed by all and included Ann’s famous scones!
As always, thanks to Charlotte and the whole Northampton Sings! team for all the hard work bringing the choir together week in week out.
Our next rehearsal is 27th April, 19:00 at Northampton Vineyard on Sheep Street – we would love to see you.
​

Great end of term finale last night - there are no more rehearsals this term.  We will be back on Sunday 15th September 2024.  See you then!

We had an amazing time at the Moulton Festival this year and loved the audience participation.

What a great time at our end of term social - roll on the next one. Back to normal choir on Sunday 14th April 2024.

We are very excited to have our very own Northampton Sings! merchandise.  Bags, hoodies and fleeces so you can proclaim your love of Northampton Sings wherever you go.

A few choir representatives handed over our donation from our Christmas performance at the Northampton Railway Station. Thank you if you came along, watched and donated!  And thank you to Karen from Air Ambulance Northamptonshire for the big cheque!

We had a little choir road trip this week, to join the Choir!Choir!Choir! guys along with the good folks of Birmingham for a mass 90's sing-a-long.  It was an awesome night!

We had a fantastic time in the sun at the Moulton Village Festival, taking donations for Northampton Prostate Cancer Support Group.   Thanks for having us on the Vespaccino stage!
