The Urban Vocal Group

The UVG was founded in 2008 by musician and teacher Charlie Fletcher whose aim was to create a community of young singers; offering a rare opportunity to bring young people from different areas and backgrounds together.

The group meets weekly in a safe, friendly environment for 2 hours of singing, socialising and learning. Singers have the opportunity to rehearse and perform contemporary arrangements and receive one to one tuition on vocal health and technique. We also provide song-writing and recording and members can gain accreditation for their involvement via the Arts Award scheme.

We meet regularly every Monday at Bedhampton Social Hall and sessions run from 5:45 to 7:15pm with one to one and small group tuition from 5:15pm. The UVG is FREE to join with no experience necessary, just an enthusiasm for singing and a desire to have fun. So if you’re aged between 11 and 18 and would like to join us please contact us at: info@theuvg.co.uk
