Singing Mamas

There are no auditions, no solos, no reading music. Just simple songs taught by ear. Clara sings the songs line by line and the group echo it back, until everyone knows it off by heart - then we might add a harmony or two! All women are welcome, of all ages and life stages. We're creating the much-needed village for new mums in our community. Each session includes tea, cake, calm, connection, and gorgeous harmony songs. Singing Mamas Central Beds is held every Wednesday morning (term time) 10:30 - 12:00 at Potton Hall for All.
