Feel good - join a new Whitstable choir

Whitstable musician Em Peasgood is setting up a new choir which she describes as 'totally modern'.

Em is well-known in local venues as a blues, soul and jazz performer particularly with Emily and the Beats, as well as earning a crust as a music teacher.

There is no formal audition for the new choir, no need to read music - and no charge for the first session. Future weekly rehearsals will cost £9, but this includes tuition in technique, performance skills, confidence and breathing.

Em says the choir will perform up-beat, feel-good pop, rock and soul music with a gospel feel but there will be no religious repertoire.
