SING
PROJECT
Men United in Song 2025
Looking for something new in 2025? We
want men like YOU to be part of our fantastic
pop-up singing project supporting our charity
partner Prostate Cancer UK.
Following its phenomenal success over the
last few years, Men United in Song is back:
launching in March, the nine-week
project will sign up around 40 local men
– most of whom have never sung before
– to perform live onstage, in a fantastic
charity concert at Peterborough
Cathedral on Saturday 10th May.
No previous singing experience is required
to join, just a willingness to get stuck in and
give it your best shot! Will Prideaux, director of
the project says “We’re not looking for a Gary
Barlow or an Alfie Boe, just bags of enthusiasm.
Come along to an introduction session, find out
more and get involved!
Ollie took part in the project last year and
says “I’m forever grateful for the laughs, the
camaraderie and support from my Men United
in Song comrades, who started out as strangers
and became great friends. This project is for
anyone who is thinking they want something
challenging in their life that welcomes you, as
you. It’s a great way to get back into or start
Everyone
should give
it a go
singing, and a fantastic experience all round!”
Jack agrees “Everyone should give it a go. I’ve
met a really great bunch of people and I’ve had
opportunities and experiences that I didn’t even
know existed. My advice… just do it!”
The project kicks off with sign-up sessions on
Thursday 27th February (6.30-10pm)
and Friday 28th February (6.30-10pm).
This is not an audition and there’s no
big red buzzer, just an opportunity to
find out more and get involved – get in
touch today to book your time slot!
Introduction sessions will be at Hampton
Gardens School PE7 8HR on Thursday 27th
February and Friday 28th February (6.30-
10pm). Please call or email first to register.
Rehearsals will be on Thursday evenings,

PE7 8HR, starting Thursday 6th March.
