The best of the West End is being celebrated in Barnes, with singers of all abilities invited along to join the chorus.

This time round, the Warble the West End workshop will teach attendees two songs from Mamma Mia and special guest, Charlotte Wakefield, who played the leading role of Sophie, will be on board to offer advice.

Musical director Lucy Hewes, who works in London’s West End, is looking forward to returning to the Olympic Cinema.

She says: "In its days as a recording studio, the Olympic played host to some of the biggest names in British music and we are proud to offer our Warblers the chance to be a part of this amazing history."

Along with the group singing sessions, Wakefield will take everyone through a warm up and question and answers session as well as performing a few songs.

Hewes says: "People often think that they can’t sing, or that singing in harmony will be difficult, but at Warble the West End we believe that if you can talk, you can sing and everyone has what it takes."
