Hi! You've found Voices Unlimited - aka The Mighty VU - Worcestershire's biggest independent adult contemporary vocal group (we don't like the word 'choir'...it's so not what we do)! With 125 keen members (and growing), we've been entertaining audiences throughout the West Midlands since 2008.
We rehearse 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 our favourite post-rehearsal hostelry too - great views, great company, great fun).
VU is a totally independent, one-of-a-kind group, so if the franchise route isn't for you - come join us! You can come to see what we're all about any Tuesday night that we're rehearsing - 40 weeks of the year or more. Just contact Givvi (our manager) first, to make sure we're going to be there!

WE ARE THE OG...
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 also an internationally-renowned vocal coach so we are taught to sing properly using cutting-edge vocal technique. (Even our manager's a professional musician, graphic artist and photographer)! Most of all, VU really is the best fun you can possibly have without being arrested. And that's a promise. |
COME JOIN US!
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. 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. |

This is what VU's all about! |
On Saturday March 19th 2022, we recorded this very special version of James Blunt's 'No Bravery' as part of a fundraising drive for the displaced people of Ukraine. Together, we raised over £6,000.
Thank you. |
