Thursday, January 25, sees the return of the Central Coast’s own monthly public singalong – The Welcome Choir at the Fun Haus Factory in Gosford.
The Welcome Choir is a “drop in choir” with no auditions and no need to know how to sing – just a love for listening and singing along to songs.
An open, safe, friendly group of strangers and friends of all singing abilities sings a different song each month.
This Thursday the song on the agenda is Simply the Best by Tina Turner.
The choir has been described as karaoke on steroids.
“Singing is good for you; it connects community to themselves and each other,” a Fun Haus spokesperson said.
“It’s easy and the Welcome Choir is here to show you how in a joyous celebration of the simple power of communal song.
“Historically, Welcome Choir began in 2016 as a not-for-profit organisation in the heart of Newtown, Sydney, starting with 20 participants who met once a week.
“This number grew quickly and eventually they had to book out the Marrickville Town Hall due to its popularity.
“COVID hit and director/choir master Bek Jenson relocated to the Central Coast where she is now in partnership with the Naughty Noodle Fun Haus growing a community of singers on the last Thursday of each month.
“Coming to The Welcome Choir is a great way to express yourself authentically, step out of your comfort zone, catch up with mates and meet new ones.”
