Only Girls Aloud
We are excited to be developing new choral activities for young women in Wales. Our new project has been established in response to high demand from the communities we work with.
Only Girls Aloud is our choir programme for young women in years 7 to 13 in Wales which launched in 2022.
Rehearsals take place monthly in Cardiff and are free and non-auditioned.
Only Girls Aloud choir members have the opportunity to meet a variety of inspirational guest speakers and hear about their life-experiences, career paths, and stories. This has resulted in an engaged and aspirational group who support each other to develop their confidence and self-expression.
Previous guest speakers have included Chloe Smith founder of Bigmoose Coffee Co, Welsh singer and actress Sophie Evans, Captain Natalie Willcox a BA Pilot, and Photographer Rebecca Toner.
Only Girls Aloud made their debut performance in the Aloud Anniversary Concert 2022. They also appear on the new anniversary album GEN Z and featured in the 4 part Aloud documentary for S4C.
Only Girls Aloud is a safe, inclusive, friendly, and non-judgemental environment and we’re always welcoming new members.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more how to get involved contact: [email protected]
We would like to thank Arts Council of Wales: Create, Scops Arts Trust and Ty Cerdd for their support of Only Girls Aloud.
