Dursley Rock & Pop Choir, is a community based venture, not affiliated to or a franchise of any national organisation.

No previous singing experience or the ability to read music is necessary.

We will be singing entirely original arrangements of rock and pop classics from the 1960s to the present day.

We will run three 10 week 'terms' per year. Check the Home page for the latest dates.

We will be working towards public performances, to showcase Dursley Rock & Pop Choir at it's finest!

Oli’s arrangements are fantastic and he makes learning the songs fun and engaging. As a newcomer to choir I would now recommend singing to everyone!

Join the choir. Singing your heart out is good for the soul!

The choir is my happy place, it’s really helped me with my confidence and I look forward to going every week. Welcomed in by everyone it’s really become my choir family.

Best decision I made to be involved in a local choir. So inclusive and with Oli's infectious enthusiasm and Hannah's organising it cant fail. I think i might actually be able to sing!

I've been looking for this for over a decade. I'm so glad it came to Dursley!

Thanks for choir - 2 hours a week for me - midweek boost to see me through the week. A chance to meet new people, laugh, feel part of a community and sing. Ollie knows how to get us to sing together and arranges beautiful music and Hannah organises it all behind the scenes.

I joined the choir from its inception & I have enjoyed every minute of it. Hannah’s great organisation skills & Oli’s arrangements are amazing. Rehearsals keep me mentally & physically challenged but they’re also fun. I’ve met some lovely supportive people & the end of term performances are great too.
