About Us

We connect local people through singing and provide opportunities for people to sing regardless of experience. Everyone is welcome. Lymm Big Sing Choir aims to create a space where everyone can share their love for music, make friends, find community support through singing, and inspire others.

Spreading Joy Through Music

Lymm Big Sing Choir was formed in Spring 2012 to provide the opportunity for people to join together to sing exciting modern popular music in an informal, sociable environment. The genre is mainly popular music, from artists such as the Beatles, Supertramp, Annie Lennox, Fisherman's Friends and songs from musicals. Our aim is to choose music that both the choir and audience will enjoy, and we create in-house arrangements that we hope will inspire the singers. There is always a wonderful atmosphere and buzz of excitement at the start of a new season of rehearsals!
