Newcastle Tuneless Choir

Newcastle Tuneless Choir re-launched on Tuesday 18th April 2023 under the management and leadership of Michael and Debbie Gatens.

The choir sings popular songs from all eras, and even the occasional local song without caring if they’re the right notes or even in the right order. So it’s everything from ABBA, The Beatles and Queen to One Direction, Coldplay and McFly. Most sessions have a ‘Theme’ so it might be Girl Groups & Boy Bands, Divas & Crooners, Musicals or Festival Headliners – or just a night of Choir Favourites.

No parts, no judgement and definitely no pressure. If you’ve been told you can’t sing in tune, or lack the confidence to do so, then we are the choir for you! Choir members tell us they leave with a spring in their step and a smile on their face. Laughing is just as important as singing – and we do a lot of both. The emphasis is on “singing like no one is listening”.

The choir meets at Gosforth Parish Church Hall, Wardale Street, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 1BJ, on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 7pm till 8.30pm. We have a a 15 minute break for refreshments which are included.

First session is £10 including registration, then it’s £8 a session pay-as-you-go or a block booking of £36 for 6 sessions.You can pay by cash or card.
