What's New?...

Easter 2021

​

... Still singing, still quizzing (even if at times we do resemble the Brady Bunch)...

​

Plans on returning to rehearsals that don't include the words "Zoom" and "Mute All" will be published in due course.

22 December 2020

NLS enjoyed a Service of Readings and Carols this afternoon on Zoom.  We might be missing one another, but we sure know how to make up for it.  Thank you to all who contributed.  Members can find a transcript of the Service on the Members' Page.

​

All that remains is for us to say to you all two things:

​

Firstly - while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.

​

And secondly - this Christmas, more than ever, may you experience - wherever you are and whoever you're with - the deep peace, the unfathomable love and the great joy that came down that starry night: and bring you unshakeable hope as we face a new year together.

​

Happy Christmas!

​

Claire and Martyn

28 October

​

This should have been us tonight. 

Yes, once again we were due to perform to one of our most enthusiastic of audiences - the Chelsea Pensioners at the Royal Hospital.  Here we are in 2019. 

2020 was due to be our busiest year yet, with shows booked at Millfield Theatre, Dugale Centre, Myddelton House - to name but a few.  Sadly, due to Covid, we're unable to meet in person.  But that doesn't stop NLS.  We're still singing and quizzing regularly via Zoom.  We're still learning new pieces for future events when they do happen, and we're singing familiar pieces to simply have fun!  No, it's not the same, but we remain grateful for each other and for the technology that helps us to stay in touch.

Stay safe everyone.  We will return!

Welcome to 2020!

Christmas was an amazingly busy time.  We were priviliged to be welcomed into care homes around Enfield and also to perform in a number of concerts and services with other musicians from across the Four Hills Music network. 

We are now looking forward to a busy and exciting year: different music, different bands, different venues across London.  Rehearsals are underway.  Come and join us now - you won't want to miss it!

Song for Shelter recording at the London Coliseum - 30th October

Following our own recording earlier in the year,

NLS was invited to join with several thousand other singers from choirs across the country to record a charity single for Shelter.  Guest soloists Bryn Terfel and Lesley Garrett were an inspiration, as were the orchestra and choir of the English National Opera.  Watch this space for details on how to buy the single and make your own contribution to combating homelessness in this country.
