Social Singing in New Cross: Find Your Voice (and Your Community)

If you’ve ever longed to sing in good company - without the pressure of auditions or polished performances - Social Singing at The New Cross House (London, SE14) could be your perfect fit. Happening on Tuesdays from sunset until 11 PM, this open‑singalong event invites singers of all abilities to gather, harmonise, and explore vocal improv in a warm, social setting.

What truly sets this experience apart is how effortlessly it bridges music and connection. Lyrics are projected on a big screen, so you can focus on your voice, not fumbling with words. Whether backed by live instruments or backing tracks, the music is there to support you - not overshadow you. And there’s no pressure to go solo: the emphasis is on group singing and shared fun.

Expect a joyful playlist - pop, folk, holiday tunes, musicals, or decade‑specific favourites - all easy to follow and fun to harmonise with. Perhaps you’ll join in with simple thirds or fifths, experiment with call‑and‑response, or even layer voices in unexpected ways. The playful spirit of vocal improv lets you try scat singing, counterpoint, or ambient drones - no prior training required.

If you'd like to take a little spotlight, apply for a featured performance spot via the website - that way you can share your unique style.

Beyond music, it's truly a social gathering - a chance to meet new people, catch up with friends, or simply relax and feel uplifted. The venue - a charming, open‑plan Victorian pub - complements the vibe beautifully, blending elegance with approachability.

Whether you're a seasoned vocalist, a shy hobby‑singer, or simply looking for a lively, musical evening, Social Singing is a space to raise your voice, share a laugh, and perhaps discover musical creativity you didn’t know you had.
