About

Fosse Singers are a non-auditioned SATB choir and we welcome members over the age of 18 to join us. We perform a wide range of traditional and contemporary material; folk, pop, spiritual, jazz, songs from musicals and light classical. Fosse Singers were delighted to take part recently in the Big Birthday Celebration at De Montfort Hall, in aid of Rainbows, to celebrate the 50th birthday of BBC Radio Leicester, singing medleys of songs from the 60’s, 70’s as well as more recent songs.

We rehearse on Wednesdays during term time at the Fosse Neighbourhood Centre, Mantle Road Leicester LE3 5HG . New members are always welcome. For more information talk to a member of the choir.
