We are a friendly group who enjoy singing and aim to improve by having fun. You don’t need to read music or audition. Our sessions start with a physical and vocal warm-up, we spend some time learning new material and finish with singing songs we have learned previously. A tea-break in the middle, provides an opportunity for getting to know each other and catching up. The group has been running for over 10 years and includes some of the original members.
Our repertoire is very varied. We sing folk songs, sea shanties, pop songs and songs from the shows. We use either piano/keyboard accompaniment or team up with our ukulele group. Our music does include some harmony, too.
If you feel you want to join us you are very welcome to contact us to arrange a visit.
Adagio singing at the u3a annual picnic began spontaneously. The picnic provided us with an opportunity to sing together, outside, after Covid. We introduced the ukulele as accompaniment. We were hailed as 'The Entertainment' when we arrived and subsequently booked to sing at the next picnic! We have sung at every picnic since, with the exception of 2025.

We would welcome opportunities to sing to groups in the Thatcham area or lead Community singing. Please contact us through the website.
