News and Events 2025

Our performance will be a Gig in the Garden at

in the lovely old Barley Mow in Kirk Ireton on Sunday 15th June at 2pm -2.45pm ish...

Why not sit and have a drink while you listen to our lovely programme of songs, traditional and modern, from around the world.

Lovely to have a compliment from the newly appointed High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Sir Richard FitzHerbert Bt, published on his diary page in Derbyshire Life, April May 2025.

We were delighted to have been invited to perform during the Civic Service for The Mayor Derbyshire Dales Cllr Peter Slack.

It's also Kirk Ireton Open Gardens so you can also have a wander round to see the lovely village in bloom afterwards

Thank you for visiting the Raise Your Voices website. We are always honing the programme for the months ahead, posting items once they are confirmed, but you can be sure that our sessions will be full of great music with the usual fun and camaraderie as we learn new songs and enjoy revisiting old favourites, and we shall continue to sing and fundraise for local charities and good causes whenever we can.

As well as the events planned we shall also carry on learning new songs with glorious harmonies and arrangements to enjoy and share at all our regular sessions throughout the year, and we may even go on the occasional outing, whether it be Ride Your Velocipedes, cycling and singing at stops along the way, (some of us don't cycle but just meet up for the singing bits and the at the pub afterwards!) or singing up at The Stardisc on a summers evening, competing with the birdsong and enjoying the rays of the setting sun... we might even go to a concert or a movie... let's wait and see....

And also from the Lord- Lieutenant of Derbyshire Mrs ElizabethFothergill CBE: "Derbyshire Dales Civic Service was held in St Mary’s church Wirksworth to commend the work and commitment of Councillor Peter Slack. A beautiful service with marvellous musical reflections from “ Raise your Voices” Choir. Delighted to be accompanied by Theresa Peltier DL and the new High Sheriff of Derbyshire Sir Richard Fitzherbert.
