This exciting new research proves that PND can be overcome by women quicker, if they participate in a group which sings together.
That is music to our ears because we've seen so many women come through the doors at that pivotal time in their lives when young babies dominate every thought and second.
To switch off, to unite in song, to focus on something totally different, and 'you', is clearly a useful tonic.

It's always lovely to hear how much people love coming to choir. Here are some of the feedback we've had over the years...
