Christine Goes Alone

Christine Mulgrew, founder of Total Voice Choir, is stepping forward to the microphone in ‘An Evening with Christine Mulgrew & Friends’.

 

Normally Christine is coordinating other singers, and helping them to improve and enjoy singing. This time, it is her voice that will be centre stage.

 

During the show, she will be joined by Peter Hill, Victoria Hopkins, Eddie Peacock, Kirsty Purves & Brian Towlson. Also, on the evening there will be a bar, cabaret tables and space for those keen enough to dance!

 

Christine has done a great job in getting so many people in the village to join Total Voice, and now she is looking forward to singing herself. Her set will include a broad variety of her favourite songs with an all singing all dancing live band. Christine said; “Singing with me will be my Total Voice business partner Victoria Hopkins and awesome local singer Peter Hill. I can't wait!"

About Christine & Total Voice Choir

Christine had have many years of singing and performing experience and was studying for a degree in music performance and technology when she had an idea for a community choir.

 

A short while later she decided to see if her home village of Milford on Sea had an appetite for a choir that would learn and perform rock and pop songs, and would be open to all.

 

The first rehearsal took place the Milford on Sea Guide Hut in January 2010. The weather was absolutely dreadful, with thick ice on all the roads. Only seven people made it to the venue that night, but the following week, after a thaw, the numbers began to climb. Nowadays, the hut is packed every week with up to sixty singers. The choir has performed at all sorts of local events and festivals and has gained a reputation for its well-known tunes, relaxed style and boundless enthusiasm.

 

Victoria Hopkins was one of the seven who battled through the snow and ice (all of two hundred yards from her home) to be at the first rehearsal. An experienced classical choral singer and soloist, Victoria enjoyed singing a completely different style of music. When Christine needed a break after her son was born, Victoria stepped into the fray and led the choir.

 

Following her return to work, Christine began working with Victoria on new arrangements and projects. The two decided to go into business together and expand Total Voice into a company offering a range of workshops and events for singers and public speakers in addition to the Total Voice Contemporary and Chamber Choirs.

 

Many of you will have heard our very own village community choir, Total Voice, performing in an around Milford over the last few years, and it is clear that Christine and Victoria are passionate about spreading the joys and benefits of singing for everyone.
