What people have said about us:

  • Classic FM wrote a lovely piece about us , which has videos and explains Rosie’s ethos as a choir leader.

  • BBC Points West featured us on their programme, talking about how singing speeds up recovery from postnatal depression.

  • BBC News also featured us on their website.

  • BBC Radio Bristol interviewed Rosie about singing during pregnancy and early parenthood.

““Folks and Bairns is my favourite part of the week. There’s something so wonderful about coming together to sing – food for the soul! I always leave feeling brighter after a good old sing song with some lovely parents and their babies. My baby is getting very used to being sung to sleep by a choir
I can’t recommend this highly enough. If you do one thing on parental leave… DO THIS!”
