Pop Up Singing Projects have been such a massive success around the UK that the popular event now hits Nottingham in 2024 as Nottingham Men Allowed!
Ian Watts, Musical Director at Carlton Male Voice Choir is setting out to give around 40 or so local men the chance to get involved in singing whilst supporting Prostate Cancer UK and raising awareness, trying something new and giving something back to the community… YOU could be one ‘Nottingham Men Allowed’.
As part of Nottingham Men Allowed participants will learn FOUR great songs over just six weeks in an informal city centre setting and build up to and grow towards a fabulous live charity event held at the Marcus Garvey Centre in April 2024. You’ll learn to sing, meet new people, challenge yourself, perform live on stage AND raise funds for charity.
You don’t require previous experience, only the drive to push out of your comfort zone and give it a go… everyone takes the same path together!
UK projects of this nature have previously been a tremendous positive experience for the men involved, with comments including:
- “Amazing, I never thought in a million years I would ever sing in front of hundreds of people! The sense of achievement was amazing!”
- “The whole experience was extremely rewarding and exciting. You get to see what your voice is really capable of and to share a few pints with a great bunch of guys from all walks of life, who you might not normally meet”.
- “A really great experience, and you got the best out of us… brilliant!”
- “Our hard work paid off! Thanks for finding something in us that most didn’t know we had!”
- “Performing in front of an audience in a concert is amazing. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!”
- “A great bunch of men, at the start it was daunting, but it all came good!”
- “When I saw the flyer, I jumped at the chance to get involved! I’d recently moved to the area and I was looking for a way to get involved in the community and start building a social group, and this was the perfect opportunity!”
Nottingham Men Allowed launches with two introductory sessions, and you can sign up on either Tuesday February 27 or Tuesday March 5, both sessions run 7:30-9:30pm and you can have a free beer, meet the team and some of the other men involved.
