Zingari Singers
We used to be called 'The U3A Singing for Pleasure Group', the name being changed to the more unique moniker of 'The Zingari Singers'.
Where previously our meetings were held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays the month at 2pm at the Methodist Church Hall (near the station). They're really a bundle of fun, we have a great laugh together and it's all very lighthearted.
There are no auditions, we just like to sing!
We sing for an hour then have tea and biscuits and a chat till about 3.30 p.m. ( bring your own mug!). Everyone welcome.
If you are interested just turn up on the day or you can contact our coordinator Pam Ward 0121 744 3265 pamward11@gmail.com

Here are some of the comments the Zingers have made recently and below that a list of some of the songs we've done.
The comments:
"I think the sessions are really great. I love finding out the different song choices & hearing the reasons people have chosen them"
"Another successful Zingari singing session thanks - we really enjoyed it"
"I have chosen this song because it brings back happy memories and two folk even danced to it - The Woolpackers - Hillbilly Rock and Roll!"
"Look forward to joining you next Wednesday. One of my favourite songs is 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'"
"I thought it went really well and getting better each time. Love to join you all next Wednesday"
"My choice is a favourite at weddings and parties! I will be dancing round the room"
"I am looking forward to the next session; today's was great. It's so nice to see everyone"
"It's actually quite nice everyone choosing their favourite songs to sing. I especially liked the John Denver song as it reminded me of my younger days. Lovely memories"
"My choice is “Don’t cry for me Argentina”. I do love this one. Looking forward to joining the Zingari Singers session again next week"
