Lucy's Pop Choir, a non-audition singing group known for putting a fresh, upbeat spin on chart hits and pop classics, held its first Sheffield session on Thursday, September 10 at the Niagara Conference Centre, Hillsborough.

The choir, which already runs sessions across Yorkshire and Derbyshire, welcomes singers of all abilities, with no experience or auditions required, and several who came along on their own said they were nervous beforehand but were quickly put at ease.

Lucy McLean, founder of the choir said "We've been wanting to launch a session in Sheffield for years, and finally, the right session leader and the right venue all happened at just the right time. I was blown away by the group in the first session.

"They sounded incredible, and you'd never have known it was their first time singing together. I'm so excited to see how the group will grow into a fantastic community."

Lucy, who originally launched the first choir in York in 2013 said, "Lucy's Pop Choir is fun, uplifting and stress-free, and will leave you with a smile on your face, new friends in your contact list and a buzz that will see you through your working week! Our motto is 'Sing More, Worry Less' and we really mean it.

"We sing pop songs that you know and love, there's no pressure, and the community it builds really is incredible."
