Featured Events in Abingdon in February, 2025 (August Updated)

Jam Night by Vitality Vocals is an opportunity to start singing in front of a small supportive group who are also receiving coaching by Carmen. Intead of going straight from 1:1 sessions to an open mic; Carmen wants to create a stepping stone to help you get out of your comfort zone without it being to scary. Or if you are a seasoned performer and want a space to practice new material and try out new ideas- this is your opportunity. The vision for these sessions is to create a supportive environment where we can share our voice and sing because it's fun. No expectations, no obligations- just gratitude! My desire is to provide a place where we can sing, engage, grow in confidence and connect with others. This is an invite only event where only students of Vitality Vocals and their guests can attend. We will be running these nights on the Friday Friday of every month at Abingdon Royal British Legion from 7th February 2025. The £5.00 PP fee covers the room hire & refreshments.
