Come along on Thursday's and sing with the Sea Green Singers

Imagine being able to sing your heart out – for things you believe in. Imagine singing in solidarity with people trying to change the world. Imagine a choir you don’t have to audition for – you just need to share the passion of singing for causes you care about. Well, here we are - the Oxford Sea Green Singers!

The Seagreen Singers are a community singing group based in Oxford. We sing songs to change the world. The group was formed after a class arranged by the Oxford Workers' Education Association (WEA), and it’s been going for about 8 years.

We sing at events supporting peace and social justice around Oxfordshire. We’ve sung “alternative” carols for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.We’ve run workshops at Campsfield Detention Centre to meet refugees and cheer the inmates. We’ve performed at Fair Trade and Green Fairs, we’ve marched on demonstrations, we’ve supported environment and allotment open days. We rarely charge a fee, but sometimes ask for donations for good causes.

The group is named after the colour of the ribbons worn by the Levellers, a radical movement in Cromwell's Model Army. The Levellers believed in common ownership of land, equality for all, justice, and human rights – things that inspire us, centuries later. We try to be true to the spirit of the Levellers – steadfastness in the face of oppression, determination to live by their principles.

All are welcome to join, and we encourage anyone interested to come along. We meet at St.Columba's Church Hall, Alfred Street (just off the High Street, Carfax end) Oxford, on Thursdays at 8pm. All are welcome. You don’t need singing experience, and you don’t have to read music. Just turn up, or for more information contact Keya Guha, 07976 715174, or email mail@seagreensingers.com.
