Eliza’s mission is to get everyone singing! After being inspired by choirmaster Gareth Malone’s BBC programmes working in communities, she began by getting students together to form a choir at uni, then cut it down to an a cappella group, Chicapella, which is still going strong today. She also runs singing workshops at workplaces such RPC law firm and the BBC in Bristol.

Bristol Choir Brigade

http://www.bristolchoirbrigade.co.uk/

Bristol Choir Brigade is a community pop choir with an edge – we sing songs from a range of decades with the odd mashup here and there, and our choir director, Eliza, creates all the arrangements. Anyone with a voice can join; there are no auditions or sheet music. We learn songs by ear with mp3 guides to practice with at home. We have lots of socials and are a warm and welcoming bunch! We rehearse every Wednesday 7.15-9.15pm at Golden Hill Sports Club near Henleaze. If you’re a shower singer, we want you – come for a free taster!

Eliza is also in a few groups and bands, notably Eliza & The Pinstripes, her swing/jive band (singing lead vocals) who are regularly performing round the local music scene, as well as being a member of an audition choir, Bristol A Cappella, singing Alto in a group of about 30 singers.
