Beautiful words from one of my singing group members. If you’ve ever been curious about joining a singing group, consider this your sign 👋🏼

Both Singing Mamas (daytime) and Songcatchers (evening) are starting in and around Falmouth this autumn. Register your interest using the link in my bio, or watch this space for more details! 🧡

Hi I’m Jen 👋🏼

You probably know I run singing groups, but here are a few things you might not know about me…

I’ve spent the last decade working in marine conservation and fisheries, completed a PhD on the Fal and Helford estuaries (friends have been known to call me Fishy Jen, the Bream Queen, or Dr of Fish… take your pick 🐟), gig rowed competitively and sang shanties with an all female group. I’m also mum to two little ones and stepmum to two brilliant older ones. Somehow this has all led to me running community singing groups, which is now the work I love most 🧡

Oh, and I’m also a trained doula with Leila Ng 🌱 (find me over at Jen Fletcher - Flourishing Roots for that side of things)

I met my husband at a singing camp (obviously) and have recently made the move back to Cornwall with our family, including our dog 🐾

I’m setting up new singing groups here this autumn for women. Singing Mamas (a daytime group where babies and young children are welcome) and Songcatchers, an evening group. If that sounds like your kind of thing, follow along 🧡

Singing Mamas is coming to Falmouth 🌊

I’ve spent the last few weeks venue hunting and I think we’ve found the perfect spot. This is Chi Aberfala, the Falmouth Family Hub, I can already picture us in a circle and our voices filling the room!

Also have plans for a group starting in Penryn very soon too 🧡

More details coming on both… dates, times, how to book. Watch this space! 👀

Why do I sing? The simple answer is that it’s fun!

I love the moment when you get 2 or 3 parts going and suddenly the harmonies land and everyone realises how epic they sound. Even if they’ve never sung together before. Also, if we get it wrong it makes us laugh, so it’s a win either way!

But it’s also the fastest way I know to connect people. Something about singing together with strangers breaks down walls in a way that nothing else quite does. It’s how I met my husband. It’s how I’ve made some of my closest friends.

I’ve missed having a group to run more than I expected. I can’t wait for it to be a fixture in my week again 🧡

🔊 Sound on for this one.

I led this song on Portland back in the summer, during one of the driest stretches we’d had in a while. Singing a song about beautiful rain whilst sitting under a parasol in the blazing sun! ☀️

The rain has well and truly arrived since then though 🌧️

Beautiful Rain by Josie Peach, sung with a lovely group at a pop up session by my friend Lotte at

Thanks for the video .singingmamas.dorset!

This week (well, 2 weeks ago actually) we sang Wax and Wane by Penny Stone

A three part round that can get chaotic very quickly if you let it... and this group absolutely tried to speed up at every opportunity! I had to keep a firm hand ✋🏼

It felt like the right song for a last session though. However things change, there’s always a connective thread between women who have spent time together.

The women who came before you, will always be beside you. And the women who dance beside you, will pass the flame along 🧡

It’s been over a week since my final session with Singing Mamas Shoreham, and I still don’t quite have the words.

So many people showed up! Past members, current members, people who have become some of my closest friends. They surprised me with cakes, cheese and crackers and a collection, and I just about managed to hold it together on the day. It was the USB stick full of video messages that broke me, a week later, at my mum’s in Dorset 🥹

I started this group when my son was 18 months old because I needed it. I had no idea it would give me so much back. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of something really special 🧡

I’ve been putting off writing this one for a while.

This week is the last session of term for our Singing Mamas, and after that I’ll be handing the group over to the lovely Mags. Honestly, it feels like a much bigger deal than I expected!

The seed of Singing Mamas Shoreham began whilst I was going to a different Singing Mamas group on my first mat leave and loved it. I had to go back to work on the same day that group ran… So I started my own!

That was three years ago, when my son was 18 months old. The same age my daughter is now 🧡 they have both got so much from attending the group with me too 🌱

Running this group has been so much more than just a job. It’s been the community that got me through early parenthood. The room I could walk into every week and feel held, even when I was the one holding the space.

Mags is going to be brilliant and I genuinely couldn’t be leaving it in better hands 🙌🏼

But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t bittersweet.

I’ll be starting fresh in Cornwall later this year and I can’t wait to see new groups grow there. But this group, and the people in it, will always mean a lot to me 🧡

This week we sang Ocean Breath by Threshold Choir 🌊

It’s a song that makes you slow down and breathe. Which felt very much like what we all needed!

I sang with the for Steyning Festival this weekend, then stayed for the folk session afterwards.

At one point my husband launched enthusiastically into a wonderfully random song about a pigeon…

…which caught the attention of some familiar faces nearby 👀

We got chatting and discovered The Unthanks were also singing the very same song as the finale of their evening gig (which was excellent) 😂

Did you know they run residential singing weekends? I will definitely be booking onto one at some point 🗓️

The pigeon song was The King of Rome by June Tabor. And both versions sounded wonderful 🎶🐦
