Hide AdShine Out, which was founded by choral conductor, arranger and singing teacher Judith Watson, is a voluntary organisation made up of singers and instrumentalists who want to share their faith through music.
Music reading skills aren't essential for Shine Out Praise Choir membership and all ages are welcome. The group performs a blend of traditional and contemporary sacred music, often accompanied by sections of the orchestra.
For this autumn session, singers are asked to pay a nominal £5 participation fee to help cover hall hire and music costs. There is no charge for school and university students.
Anyone interested in singing with Shine Out should email [email protected] and ask for a registration form. The form is also available on the Shine Out Facebook page, which can be messaged for further details.
