Vocallective started out as a one-off workshop in 2011 at the back of the Honor Oak Pub. It quickly grew into a regular choir called Sing it Back. Amazingly, some Sing it Back members are still with the choir today!
They have moved venue a few times over the years, but are now happily rehearsing on Tuesday nights at Kilmorie School, SE23. They are a friendly, non-audition choir with an eclectic repertoire and diverse membership that they’re very proud of.

The Wrablers are a mixed voice a cappella ensemble under the guidance of the Music Director Rob Stutterheim. Many of them have been singing together for nearly fifteen years in other formations, but they have been singing as Wrablers since 2011. They began as a spelling mistake – a little typo in the notes of their first meeting as a singing group, Warblers morphing unnoticed into Wrablers. Once spotted, they realised it was apt; they can be a rabble, on occasion, and warbling’s much too cutesy a term for what they do.
