About Simply Singing
Simply Singing was founded in Brigg in September 2024 by local musician and Musical Director Simon Percy to create a welcoming choir where anyone can discover the joy of singing together without auditions, expectations or pressure to be perfect.
Singing for the pure joy of it
What makes Simply Singing special is our relaxed and genuinely welcoming atmosphere. You do not need any previous experience, and you never need to read sheet music—lyrics are provided, songs are learned together, and everyone participates at their own pace. We offer both afternoon and evening rehearsal times to suit your schedule, and taking part in public performances is completely optional.
Music for everyone to enjoy
We sing an uplifting, eclectic mixture of styles, including popular hits, musical theatre, soul, rock, country, classical gems and seasonal favourites. Our repertoire changes each term, and our members are always welcome to suggest their favourite songs. With printed words provided and music learned together, there are no auditions and no barriers to getting involved.
