Back in February 2025 we held our first open-to-all, Friday afternoon Singalong at the Dersingham Village Centre, and have been meeting once a month since, usually on the last Friday afternoon of each month from 2pm to 4pm in 'The Garden Room'. All very informal - we sing anything from folksongs, evergreen classic favourites, or whatever really, and you'd be most welcome to join us. If you play, strum, pluck, blow or shake an acoustic instrument, by all means bring it along and if you'd like to sing or lead a song or two, that would be great. We break for a cup of tea or coffee midway through the session. And even if feel you don't sing or play anything but just would like to come along to listen and be a part, that'd be fine and you would still get to choose a song or two that you'd like to hear. We don't charge though there is a plate left out during our tea/coffee break to make a purely optional contribution towards the relatively small cost of room hire.
Our next few Singalongs are scheduled for:
Friday 30th October
Friday 27th November
Friday 18th December: Christmas Singalong
Friday 8th January 2027
Friday 26th February (and thereafter on the last Friday of each month until November 2027)
We do have a Songbook containing words, keys and chords collected over several years, though this is not intended to place any restrictions on what gets played or sung! A PDF copy of this Songbook' is available to download to your phone or tablet either for personal use or to bring along to a Singalong which can be accessed with this link:
There is also a special (recently updated) Christmas Carols and Songs Supplement containg well known Carols and favourite Christmas Songs which can downloaded here:
And now, you can download a combined Omnibus of all our songs, including the Christmas ones here:
We currently maintain 16 printed copies of the main songbook (including six large print copies) available at the Singalongs, and 22 copies of the Christmas songbook, (including 12 large print ones). There is nothing to stop you printing out your own copy at home, though with a potential total of 160 A4 pages of very large print for both books, you might want to reduce these down to 2 per side of A4 or even 4 per side, (as indeed we have done with the ones we use at our Singalongs).
For further details or simply to register an interest please email us at steve.dersingham@gmail.com and if you like I can include you in our email list for updates. Further details will also also posted on the 'Dersingers' and 'Dersingham Village Group' Facebook pages.
Do come along whatever your level of singing or playing ability. Every one who comes gets to chose a song either from the songbook or, if you are prepared to lead it yourself, whatever else you like! It's great fun and we look forward to meeting you there.
You may also be interested in trying out the Dersingham Choir (of which my wife and I are also a members) who meet on Thursday evenings between 7 and 9pm at St Cecilia's Church, Dersingham. This has been running for a few years now and has its own website at: dersinghamchoir.com.
This site was set up originally to promote home recorded singalong versions of modern worship songs by Steve & Melanie from their separate homes in Dersingham during the COVID lockdown. Their separately recorded tracks were then edited together to be used in the weekly online YouTube worship videos put out by St Nicholas Church, Dersingham. YouTube playlists of all these recordings can be accessed by clicking on the links below or simply by searching for 'dersingers' within a YouTube app or website.
We're happy to promote any other non-profit making singing activities taking place within the village of Dersingham.
Thanks for visiting this page.
