Wellington Vocal Blokes: NOT Over the Hill and Still singing
- Date: 22/11/2025 14:00 - 16:00
- Location: Old Salvation Army Hall 209 The Parade Island Bay
- Tickets: $15
Wellington Vocal Blokes are NOT going to Greytown as we first thought– Older, Bolder, and Still Singing, but we are having a workshop and concert in Wellington.
An afternoon of music, laughter, and good company on Saturday, 22 November.
Our end-of-year concert is bigger and better. This time we’re adding a singing workshop led by our young and inspiring music director, Paddy Shanahan, before rounding the day off with the 4:00 pm concert NOT Over the Hill and Still Singing at the Old Salvation Army Hall, 209 The Parade, Island Bay.
Workshop: Singing Together (2:00 – 3:30 pm)
Once you’ve warmed up, it’s time to build harmony. Drawing inspiration from Jacob Collier’s version of Coldplay’s Fix You, Paddy will guide the group in shaping simple “oohs” into rich, layered sound. It’s less about perfection and more about listening, blending, and feeling the joy of shared music.
You can take part in this workshop, and join the Vocal Blokes at the afternoon concert — a true “community choir” moment.
Workshops cost just $15 or $25 for both workshop and concert.
NOT Over the Hill and Still Singing is a playful nod to our cancelled journey from Wellington to Greytown and to the fact that most of us are, well, not exactly in our twenties anymore.
But that’s the beauty of it — we sing for the sheer love of it. Expect songs about travel, friendship, and meeting new people, all delivered with our trademark mix of heart and humour.
We love performing for audiences because you listen, laugh, and sing along in all the right places. There’s something special about our venue — the warmth, the curiosity, the way the hall fills with energy before the first note.
Come Join the Chorus. So, whether you’re a shower-soloist, a closet crooner, or simply someone who enjoys good company and great music, come spend the day with us. Bring your voice, bring a friend, and rediscover how good it feels to sing together. Workshop 2:00 pm. Concert at 4:00 pm.
