The PODs
Song is in the heart of so many people – and it was their love of singing which first brought the PODs together. Four ladies of varying ages, backgrounds and experience were brought together by a wonderful singing teacher who provided an environment where their collective knowledge and experience could be expressed and grow.
Thus began a wonderful journey, not only of friendship but in joining together to form an amateur singing group. The PODs represent friendship, support and fun - as reflected in their sheer enjoyment of life and of performing together.
