Sing for your Supper

FAQs

​

What actually is Sing For Your Supper?
 

It’s a relaxed, feel-good evening of group singing, food, drink and connection in a village pub. We warm up together, learn a song (in harmony if you fancy it), eat a delicious supper, then enjoy a big group sing-along led by a live local musician. No pressure, no performing — just singing for the joy of it.

​

Do I need to be able to sing?
Absolutely not. This is for everyone. If you enjoy music, singing in the car, or humming along to the radio — you’re perfect for this.

​

Is it a choir?
Nope. There’s no commitment, no weekly rehearsals, no pressure to “sound good”. Just turn up, sing, eat, laugh, repeat.

 

Is it karaoke or an open mic?
Definitely not. No solo singing, no being put on the spot, no microphones being thrust into your hand. We sing together as a group.

​

Will I have to sing on my own?
Never. Everything is group singing. Always.

​

What happens during the evening?

• 6:30pm – Doors open, grab a drink, get settled

• 7:00–8:00pm – Vocal warm-ups + learning a song together (with optional harmony)

• 8:00pm – Supper is served (a delicious sharing platter from The Chequers’ chef)

• 8:30–10:00pm – Group sing-along led by a live local singer/musician, with songs chosen from the group’s suggestions

 

What kind of songs will we sing?
Songs you know and love. When you book, you’ll suggest a song within the evening’s theme. On the night, songs are drawn from the hat — simple, fun, and familiar.

 

Do I need to read music?
Nope. No sheet music, no theory, no stress.

​

Can I come on my own?
Yes — and you won’t feel awkward, promise. This is a lovely way to meet new people in a relaxed, welcoming space.

 

Who is it for?

• Adults who want to try something different

• People who miss singing but don’t want a choir

• Anyone who wants connection, community, food and music

• Friends, couples, or solo attendees

• You don’t need confidence — just curiosity

 

What should I wear?
Whatever you’re comfortable in. Pub-casual is perfect.

 

How often does this run?
Monthly — on the first Tuesday of the month at our local pub - The Chequers, Barley.

 

Will this be the same every time?
The structure stays the same, but the songs, themes, people and guest musicians keep it fresh — no two evenings will be quite the same.
