"Chris and his choir uplifted my dad's day. My dad passed away in August. I wanted something different, so I was so grateful that Chris 'sung his voices' at my dad's funeral. Thank You so much! X "
Jo hired Tallis Consort for a Church service (available in Nottingham)
"Absolutely fantastic. They helped me manage to make the very difficult task of making the performance a surprise for my sister and all went so well. Wonderful personalisation of the Stevie Wonder Happy Birthday song and the harmony was glorious. Was an absolute treat for everyone there and Abi and her choir were just so friendly and helpful."
Christine hired London Soul Choir for a Private event (available in Nottingham)
"Outstanding, would be the best way to describe them ! We wanted a “Sister Act” style gospel set to be sung at our church wedding ceremony and really struggled to find a group that would meet our requirements. Once we found The Independent Musicians Collective however, our prayers were answered. We found Matt extremely helpful and their vocal talents and pianist skills at both the church and our reception did not disappoint. The Collective has left us with memories that will last a lifetime."

Do choirs take song requests?
Not all choirs take song requests, but some do. Some choirs have a set repertoire of songs that they perform, while others are more open to requests. The choir will need time to arrange and rehearse the song so it's best to make sure you send any requests in advance. There may also be a small fee for the rehearsal time.
Do choirs only sing hymns?
No, not all! Choirs perform a wide variety of music, from traditional folk songs to classical compositions. Here are some of the most common types of music that choirs perform: - Classical music: This includes choral works from the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and modern periods. Some famous examples of classical choral music include Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus, Mozart's "Requiem," and Verdi's "Va, pensiero." - Popular music: This includes songs from a variety of genres, such as pop, rock, and Broadway. Popular choirs often perform songs that are currently popular or that have been covered by other artists. - A cappella music: This is music that is performed without instrumental accompaniment. A cappella choirs often perform traditional folk songs, spirituals, and jazz arrangements. - Church music: This includes hymns, anthems, and motets. Church choirs often perform music that is specifically written for religious services.
