Why now?
I really believe in the power of singing - it lifts our mood and brightens our day. The pandemic brought about lots of wonderful online communities many of which have now faded away again and lost funding.
As someone who lives with long covid, I feel it’s important for me to share my joy of singing with others who are going through similar situations: chronic health conditions, disabilities or those who just need to take 30 minutes out of their day to sing for whatever reason!
I’m excited to sing with you soon, C x
