Finsbury Park Singers

About the choir

We rehearse in North London on Tuesday evenings during term time and sing a vast array of music – from pop to gospel, classical to musical theatre, jazz to folk, normally in three or four part harmony (or more!). Finsbury Park Singers is made up of local people who love singing – there are no auditions and everyone is welcome. Enjoy singing? Come and join us!

Finsbury Park Singers was founded by Hannah Brine in 2018, and Charles MacDougall was appointed conductor in 2023. We perform one main concert per term, plus smaller performances at community events and markets. There are a number of socials throughout the year, including weekly drinks after rehearsals, post-concert pub visits plus occasional meals out at our favourite local restaurants. Hannah also hosts an annual singing retreat that many of our singers attend.

We are very proud to be a very community minded choir – we regularly support local charities such as StreetLink, Islington Mind, Islington Food Bank and Single Homeless Project. We have raised over £5,000 for charity.

Testimonials

What our choir members say

I get so much musical pleasure and community feeling from choir. THANK YOU!!

I love sharing the experience with family and friends at the concert, and the connections with local people. I look forward each week to the time set aside for the pleasure of singing .

The choir has a wonderfully welcoming vibe and I’m looking forward to next term already.

I absolutely loved this term! The music selections were really special. I really liked the mix of more traditional choral pieces with arrangements of pop. More of the same please!
