Oldham Tuneless Choir
Oldham Tuneless Choir burst into song with just over 50 singers on Wednesday 18th September 2019.
We meet fortnightly on Wednesday evenings 7.15-8.45pm at Billingtons, 3 Ascroft Street, Oldham OL1 1PU. There are several car parks nearby with the nearest being Ascroft Street, Town Square, Spindles and Sainsburys, please be mindful of any charges. We are also handy for bus routes and the tram, being based just off Union Street.
We sing a range of songs from pop to rock and musical numbers to country.
Like all Tuneless Choirs, the choir is for those who “lack the ability, practice or confidence to sing in tune”. People from different backgrounds and all ages will be coming together to enjoy the release of endorphins as they sing popular songs in their own unique ways. No pressure, no judgment, just confidence-boosting fun and a great atmosphere.

We are invited to appear at various events throughout the year. There’s no requirement for any of our members to take part and “perform”, but many of our members who thought they’d never sing in public have found it to be great fun. We belt out popular classics, ask the crowd to join in, and they love our enthusiasm and carefree spirit.
Gemma was an enthusiastic member of Beeston Tuneless Choir, near Nottingham. She returned to her roots in Oldham, and really missed being part of the choir, which helped her with her grief following the deaths of her partner Paul and her mum so she decided to set up her own.
Jess has been singing karaoke since she was old enough to hold a mic, she has been in choirs although her musical background consists mainly of singing for fun and she now sings in a karaoke league in Stockport. She says her favourite genre of music is country so you can expect some Dolly and Kenny on the playlist.
The regular price is £8 per session ‘pay as you go’ or you can book a term in advance for the equivalent of £6 per session. Newcomers will always pay £10 for their first session which includes registration. Cake or such like will be provided each week.
