Just 2 days before we open the festival in St Albans. Who’s coming? #ukchoirfestival

good variety of workshops, fun and relaxed atmosphere and well organised

Well organised, fabulous workshop leaders and really fantastic to hear the other groups ♫

We came over from Ireland and had a fantastic time! The workshop facilitators were brilliant and the whole weekend went so smoothly. Great stuff Russel and co. Well done. We'll see you again I'm sure!

Top quality workshop leaders, friendly choirs and a relaxed environment for those wanting to perform. Hope to be back next year.

This was a great weekend. Full of tips, learning, fun and singing. Brilliant. Roll on 2018!

The festival was excellent with great workshops. and look forward to next year.



Only did the Saturday, but wished I had attended Sunday as well.



Thank you Russell for all the hard work in making this event so successful.

Such a fantastic weekend really worth travelling for �

St Albans was amazing! Even for those who sing purely for fun it was a great experience. The various workshops were brilliant even for one like me who doesn't read music! Cant wait until the next one!

Learned so much - and worked so hard - with wonderful knowledgeable workshop leaders. They all kept reading my mind about everything I wanted to get right as a singer! The organisation was superb and our choir will be back next year. Can’t praise the event highly enough.

I was at the UK Choir Festival in Manchester in July this year with my acappella quartet New Horizons, and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. On the New Horizons Quartet FB Page there are some pictures of us enjoying the singing and coaching workshops. The opportunity for us to listen to great choirs performing, and to perform two songs of our own, as part of the evening show, to a very appreciative audience of choirs, and to receive feedback from the coaching team, who donned their judging hats, were among the highlights for me.

I did a lovely long review then lost it. All positive remarks Can't wait for Wales next year. Barbara.

Great workshops covering all sorts, connecting with your music, understanding your voice, exploring new sounds, & much more! Perfect venue, & excellent value to access such a wealth of knowledge & guidance that the leaders provided.

Fun and educational with inspiring workshop leaders and great variety of material.

Fabulous, well organised, useful and inspirational event.

Amazing weekend....very workshop was expertly run, fun, engaging and educational.



Loved watching all the choirs perform at the end.



Will definitely be back next year.

Amazing two days. Loved it. An experience well worth the money.

A n extremely good event, well-run in a very suitable venue. The variety of workshops helped to maintain the interest and enthusiasm across the day with the choir performances at the end as the icing on the cake. We learned a lot and had a great day!

A fantastic experience and such a great opportunity to share our love of singing, work with brilliant practitioners and perform for each other! Bring on Manchester ‘18 !!

A fantastic action-packed day in St Albans. I learned lots from the excellent workshop leaders with their lively, fun sessions. The concert at the end was lovely with a spectacular African-style performance from a school choir. A wonderful day with an awesome gospel session from Karen!
