Welcome to the Home of The Mighty VU!


Hi! You've found VU, Worcestershire's biggest independent adult contemporary vocal group (we don't like the word 'choir'...it's so not what we do)! With 100 keen members (and growing), we've been entertaining audiences throughout the West Midlands since 2008. 
​
We're now back to in-person rehearsals once a week on a Tuesday evening (7.30pm - 9.30pm), in the beautiful Ombersley Memorial Village Hall. There's always an opportunity to socialise in one of the nearby hostelries after rehearsal too! 

We are a genuinely independent group, so if the franchise route isn't for you - come join us!
Email our administrator for details: givvi@voices-unlimited.co.uk

We are the original 'choir that rocks'!

We're recruiting - come join us!

We sometimes get asked if we are part of one of the franchised choirs that have sprung up all over the UK and the answer is no, we're definitely not!


​We love that people are enjoying their singing in whatever form they can get it, but we're very proud of being an independent, stand-alone and completely unique vocal ensemble with our own bespoke catalogue of one-off arrangements written by our Musical Director, Ria Keen (aka The Demon Diva / She Who Must Be Obeyed / Our Beloved Leader - delete where applicable). 

Ria's an internationally-renowned vocal coach so we are taught to sing properly using cutting-edge vocal technique, and we're lucky to have not just her but also her industry friends come in to work with us both in performances and workshops to help us with our skills!

We revise plenty of technique as we go, and most of us think rehearsal on "VUesday" is the highlight of the week. It's such a great stressbuster! 

Most of all, it really is the best fun you can possibly have without being arrested. And that's a promise.

,We are always happy to meet new members but we totally understand that it can be a bit daunting to take the first step to join a new group - especially one as big as ours. 

So the main thing is: don't panic, Mr. Mainwaring! We are the most friendly and welcoming bunch you could wish to meet (see the Meet the VU-ers page for some stories about how it feels to join and then become part of the VU family), and we all felt nervous at first.

We meet most Tuesday evenings at Ombersley Memorial Village Hall and we're always delighted for people to come along and have a listen to us first, see what a rehearsal looks like and chat to some super-friendly folks.

If you'd like to 'try before you buy' just email us to sort out a convenient date for you to come along. Most people leave with a huge smile on their faces, eager to join in the following week! 

If you know from the get-go that you would like to join, again just drop us an email and we will contact you with all the details and the how-to.
