Chesterfield Tuneless Choir
The choir was set up by Amanda Higginbotham in 2018. Amanda was told by her chorister mother that she had the “voice like a foghorn” and we are so grateful that she wanted to start a choir for those that may well have been told the same; told to mime, told to sing quietly. We will be forever grateful to her that she founded the family that is Chesterfield Tuneless Choir and delighted that she will share her “ foghorn” with us at our weekly sessions.
Debbie Rayner took on the role as choir leader when Karen Cook retired in December 2020 but now the baton has been firmly handed over to Debbie who is now proud to be both the manager and leader of the Chesterfield Tuneless Choir.
She promises that their legacy will be safe in her hands.
Debbie has spent her professional life in music and music education. Her mission is to help enrich lives through music making. She loves the fact that Tuneless Choir has all the benefits of singing without the serious stuff!
We sing a wide range of popular songs of different genres, everything from Doris Day to George Ezra, via classics from the likes of Abba and Queen.
Our home is at the Chesterfield Town football ground – the Technique Football Stadium, Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, S41 8NZ. There is plenty of parking – drive round to the rear (east side) of the stand. We meet in their Sports Hall on the first floor of their Community Hub – use The HUB entrance.
We meet most weeks on Wednesdays at 7.30pm.
Please sign up for our emails in order to find out what we are doing and the opportunities for signing.
