What to expect
Fen Edge Voices rehearse every Tuesday during term time from 7.30-9.30pm in the back hall at Cottenham Community Centre (check the website for dates). You can arrive any time from 7pm and there's a short break half way through the session (bring your own drinks and snacks).
Everyone over the age of 18 is welcome - there are no auditions and no musical experience is needed. The choir sings a wide range of styles, including pop, rock, soul, gospel and even a little classical. Songs are learned by ear, but sheet music is available to members when you sign up and gain access to the members' only area of the website.
There may be public performances by the choir but it isn't compulsory to attend.
