Bourne Tuneless Choir

Bourne Tuneless Choir is an alternative choir, the choir for those who LOVE singing but lack the ability, practice or confidence to do so. Bourne Tuneless Choir was started in October 2016 by Linda and Kenny, and it is flourishing! Prior to the pandemic the Choir met weekly but that all changed during lockdown and a different way to deliver a weekly dose of Tunelessness had to be found!  Linda and Kenny broadcast weekly sessions from the Tuneless Shed via YouTube and members of the choir joined in from the comfort of their own homes! Since restrictions lifted the choir have been back singing together again and are having more fun and more laughter singing together than ever before!

Tuneless Choir is for anyone who LOVES singing.  It doesn’t matter what you sound like, or whether you can hold a note or a tune, whether you have sung before or not.  We believe everyone has a right to sing whatever their voice!  We sing purely for the fun and enjoyment of it. There is no audition, no pressure to improve, no judgement. There is no need to be able to read music, remember words or to hit the right note, indeed there is no wrong note with our choir!

Why do we sing?  We sing because we LOVE to!

Can we sing in tune?  Sometimes!

Can we remember all the words? We don’t have to! We provide you with your own personal song book. Every note is the right note and will just blend right in!

Do we have fun?  Always!

Are we friendly? YES!  We are ready and waiting to meet you!

Do we leave choir feeling better than when we came started!  Oh yes! Always! There are plenty of smiles and laughs, and you can really enjoy yourself, forget your stresses for a little while, and relax and make new friends.

What are you waiting for!   If you would like something fun to look forward to each week, come along and try Bourne Tuneless Choir.  There is no commitment beyond what you want to commit to.  Come once, twice or often.

Payment Terms?

Newcomers pay £10 for the first session.  This includes registration with the choir, a song book that is yours to take home and a name badge.  Thereafter, the regular price is £8 if you “pay as you go”, or you can pay £48 in advance for the 8-week term.  This is the equivalent of £6 per session and a saving of £12 on the pay weekly price. Price includes refreshments.

Where and when?

Our weekly sessions are from 7.30pm – 9.00pm, with booking in from 7.10pm.  We meet weekly on Thursdays at The Centre@Elsea Park, 1 Sandown Road, Bourne PE10 0US

This is a modern bright airy venue, with a car park, toilet facilities, a patio area, reception area and a large well-ventilated hall with a stage.

Singing like no one is listening!

We are often invited to sing at local community and charitable events, and we love supporting such events as and when we are able.  But, as with all things Tuneless there is no pressure to join in with these types of events unless you wish to, it is your choice, and the format is the same as for regular sessions.  We sing for fun of it and to experience the exhilaration of singing like no is listening with anyone who wants to join in! If you come across us, please wave, shout hello or better still, stop by and singalong with us and you might just LOVE it!
