Bolton's local choir
Kick-start your week with the joy of singing together!
Our wonderful community choir in Bolton meets at The Hub in Westhoughton on Monday evenings and is the perfect place to meet new friends, build your confidence and do something just for you.
Led by local choir leader George Harry Jones, our Bolton choir is an inclusive, friendly bunch who love singing together each week in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Our choirs are perfect for people who have told themselves all their lives that they “can’t sing”. We believe everybody can and should sing. No experience is needed, just come along, learn great songs, relieve stress and find your voice.

What happens at a
Local Vocals Bolton session?
Every Monday evening, we come together for 90 minutes of singing, laughter and connection.
A typical session includes:
• A warm welcome and time to settle in
• Simple vocal warm ups to get everyone comfortable
• Learning uplifting songs in easy to follow harmony parts
• Singing together with no pressure to perform alone
• Plenty of encouragement, support and a good laugh
No need to read music, just come along and enjoy it.
After the rehearsal, you can log onto the online Members' Area to access your lyrics, harmony tracks and extra resources so you can practise at home if you want to, as well as signing up to sing at local and regional events.
Bolton’s Local Vocals is about so much more than singing. It is a chance to step away from the rush of the week, enjoy a relaxed evening, have a laugh and spend time with a wonderful community of local people.
Many of our members join because they love singing, but stay because of the friendships, confidence and sense of belonging that grows week by week.
New to the area, looking to meet people or wanting something for yourself after work? Our Bolton evening choir is a brilliant place to connect, unwind and do something uplifting each week.
Coming on your own? Lots of people do and quickly become part of the choir family.
