Free Singing Mamas in Medway starting next week. If you are pregnant or have a baby under 1 year old, come and give it a go. Give your wellbeing a big boost!

01/09/2025

We are still on a high from singing at the Sticks n Stones Festival on Saturday! It was so brilliant to be surrounded by other organisations offering services and help for wellbeing in Medway.

Our daytime group starts back next week, and we have plenty of space for new friends. All women can come - you don't have to be a mama, your child could be at school, or they could have flown the nest - whatever your situation, you are welcome.
We meet on Mondays at 10am at Wayfield Family Hub. We learn simple songs of all genres really gently, with absolutely no pressure, enjoying the connection it gives us rather than trying to be perfect. After a sing, we have a chat over tea and cake - what could be better?!

If a daytime group doesn't suit you, but you'd still love to sing (regardless of the quality of your voice and whether you (or anyone else) judges it - then our evening group continues year-round on Wednesdays, 8pm in Blue Bell Hill. Again, any woman is welcome - you don't have to be a mother. This group is for grownups only - teenage daughters are welcome.

You can book a taster session for either of these groups for £5 here: https://www.flutterbymusic.co.uk/singing-mamas-booking After your taster, there is a monthly subscription (which can be cancelled at ANY time) and the evening group accepts people who want to pay as they go.

If you want to hear some of the songs that we might sing - just pop along to any streaming service and search 'Singing Mamas' to find our album which was specifically recorded for our projects in Neonatal wards in Kent. Here's the link on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7t2sOvv4LP1f5g3R8sMgRY...

I've been really busy replenishing my song books with new songs and there will be some old favourites thrown in too. We can't wait to meet you (and your little ones if you'd like to bring them to the daytime group).

Come and give us a go, and see if 90 mins of you time and a good old sing helps you to feel better.

Ever wondered what actually happens in a Singing Mamas group, how it's helpful and why everyone should sing (even those 'you don't want to hear me sing' people? Charlotte Howard has written a research paper -

"Unlike baby-focused groups, Singing Mamas is explicitly mother-centred. Babies are welcome, but the focus is on the woman, not the child. In a culture that often demands mothers be selfless to the point of invisibility, this reversal is quietly radical.

“It’s not about being a great singer,” one participant told me, “It’s about showing up as you are.”

In the sessions, there’s no pressure to talk - or to be okay. Women sit in a circle, learning simple, beautiful songs by ear. The singing is interspersed with tea, cake, and informal conversation. This is where the magic happens: women begin to share. Not in a structured “therapy” way, but in the messy, human way that real support is built - over laughter, tears, and shared silence."
