TESTIMONIALS
What an awesome experience. What amazing musicality! Since joining, I have completed my ‘first gig’. This alone furnished me with a sense of confidence and achievement.
I have been a member of TPSC Newport since its beginning, I realise that it is a great choir to be in. Our choir leader Jo especially is a real gem.
I went along to two taster sessions with another two friends who also had worked in the professional world of dance and performance. We haven’t looked back since! I look forward to rehearsals every week learning new materials and meeting up with the lovely bunch that are The People’s Show Choir Newport.
What a fabulous day (at the Christmas Concert in London), so uplifting and wonderful. Thank you all once again. I was completely blown away by the experience.
