Saturday 18th October 2025 – Kendal Town Hall Assembly Room, 7pm

Chris Samuel has performed in Kendal many times with The Spooky Men’s Chorale and Fistful of Spookies. He now returns leading his choir The Magnificent AKs from Ashton Keynes – an all-bloke, Georgian harmony-inspired, multi-hatted, singing machine from North Wiltshire who are visiting Kendal on their northern tour. 

They are joining forces with the ever-entertaining Fellside Singers, a well known local group led by Rachael Wadey, for a fabulous evening of acapella song.

They will entertain you with a wonderful variety of songs: some to pull on your heart strings, others that’ll warm your soul and yet others just for their hilarity! 

An evening not to be missed! Tickets available here, if we are sold out join a waiting list managed by Snappy Tickets here too. 

 

**NEW Drop In Singing Sessions in Grange-over-Sands from Thursday 25th September 2025**

Our pilot day time drop in singing sessions in Grange-over-Sands were so well attended that we’ve decided to make a regular thing of it – Thursday afternoons from 1pm-2.30.
  • We teach everything by ear, we won’t give you words or music to read.
  • They’ll be a light hearted mixture of songs sung in harmony without a piano or guitar accompaniment.
  • Open to all – whether you have lots of singing experience or none!
  • Just like our regular Kendal groups on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings, these are drop in sessions – by which we mean there’s no commitment to attend every week and they are on a ‘pay as you go’ type arrangement of £8 a session (or pay what you can).
  • We are hosting these sessions in the glorious Victoria Hall, right in the centre of Grange. If you don’t know this venue, we can’t recommend it more highly, do check out all the wonderful things going on there, it really is a gem.

The Growing Singers In Grange-over-Sands

Over the Summer The Growing Singers were delighted to sing in Grange-over-Sands as part of their special Bandstand concert series. We entertained the gathered crowd basking in the glorious sunshine and, together with Kendal’s Flutes & Co, raised a wonderful £201.00 for Growing Well, the local charity based at Low Sizergh Farm, Kendal. Growing Well have helped hundreds  of people recover from mental health challenges, with their unique approach to recovery through supported activity in the outdoors, within a real-world horticulture enterprise, supported and guided by experienced therapeutic growers and mental health support staff.   Thank you to Jo Knox for these gorgeous photos. We are hoping to do this again next year – would be ideal to be able to book the same weather – we’ll see!
 

The Growing Singers with Carer Support South Lakes and Cancer Care

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all our performers and supporters on 19th July – we are delighted to announce that we raised £1716.40 in total and Cancer Care and Carer Support South Lakes have each received a wonderful £858.20. This money will be spent caring and supporting local people at times in their lives when they need it the most.  We all had a most brilliant evening. Here are just a few of the many positive comments we received…

“A joyous evening.”

“A evening filled with the feeling of warmth and purpose. Absolutely great fun!”

“Wow that song Let Time Be Your Friend was so complex and gorgeous!” 

“I felt a huge sense of togetherness and inclusion.”
