A lovely little read about why singing feels so good 🎶💛

So much of what we do at Songbirds is about more than learning songs — it’s about connection, confidence, belonging and the simple joy of making music together. There’s some interesting research exploring why singing together can feel so good, too! 🐦🎶

Singing does something measurable to your body and brain, whether you are alone, harmonising in a choir, or singing with your friends at a karaoke bar.

How fortunate am I that I get to spend my week singing, laughing and making music with kids - including this incredible, dynamic and passionate bunch 💛🎶

Just some of my beautiful Songbirds here, getting ready for our upcoming concert. 😎

One of my favourite things about these groups is watching the kids support and encourage each other. I especially love seeing my older singers naturally modelling kindness, confidence and encouragement for our youngest members — cheering each other on, having a go, and making sure everyone feels like they belong.

Such a special little community of young people, and I feel very lucky to get to make music with them 🥰

Went along to see Sweeney Todd by Ghostlight Theatre last night — one of my absolute favourite musical-com… operas?! Such a rich and sumptuous musical score 🎭🩸🎶

The cast did a phenomenal job of producing such a high-quality show and are seriously punching above their weight. The production team have done an incredible job too, with some VERY cool effects… if you know, you know! 👀🍗💺

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, definitely go along and support some fantastic local theatre!

A little heads-up for families: Sweeney Todd definitely has a horror/dark theme, so I’d probably suggest 10+, but it really depends on the individual child and what they’re comfortable with. Feel free to reach out if you’re considering taking your kids and aren’t sure!

🩸TONIGHT🩸 Are you ready to attend the tale of Sweeney Todd? Be first in line for a shave, the closest he ever gave…

There’s still time to get your tickets, be quick… Sweeney’s waiting… 🎟️⬇️
