Growing from the December 2025 round of Carols till Closing in ten of St Albans' pubs, a few eager singers decided to sound out the possibilities of establishing a brand new Community Choir based at St Saviour's. It didn't take long to find other like-minded people, so in partnership with Fr Richard and St Saviour's Church we held a free introductory evening in January 2026.​ Fr Richard was joined by Afi Attah and Louise Chambers, to explore possible ways forward - and of course to sing! After some introductions, questions and warm-up exercises we made a beautiful noise - as you can see in the video below!​​
​
So moving forward....
The new full 6-week term begins Monday 23rd Feb through till Monday 30th March.
From the new term the pay as you go is £12.00, but paying for the whole term in advance is only £60.00. As explained at the taster evening there is a concessionary rate if this is beyond anyone's current means, because we really do want EVERYONE to be involved! (so just have a quiet word with Afi or Lou)....
We plan to have an online payment option set up soon, along with a webpage accessed here where teaching tracks etc can be downloaded as well.​ If you haven't yet registered, then its not too late. Just use the link button at the top of the page, or just come along on a Monday evening. At some point in the term the rehearsal will move into church to enjoy the awesome acoustic - but in the meantime the choir will gather in the hall to enjoy the heat!​

Afi Attah and Louise Chambers​
are deeply rooted in the world of music, starting out as members of the renowned London Community Gospel Choir. Travelling the world, they've sung powerful gospel , but also provided vocal support to superstars such as The Killers, Tom Grennan, The Gorillas Take That, Mariah Carey and others.
​
But their passion for singing goes beyond the spotlight, believing that music is for everyone who has a love for it, not just the professionals! It’s all about the joy of singing and sharing that passion with others - choir members and audiences alike. Afi already leads a vibrant community choir in St Albans, and they also teach in schools, and run vocal workshops.
They're really excited at the possibility of a new community choir based at St Saviour's, and look forward to welcoming anyone who wants to sing - whether it’s pop, gospel, or rock - because the heart of music is simply loving it!
