who we are & what we do
We are Elaine Wilson and Joe Blench and we run a funky choir called Riff Raff. We are both singing teachers who work in and around Bristol and we are very excited about this singing group which focuses mainly on singing pop, rock and & funk music in harmony.
You don't need to be able to read music: all of the parts are taught by ear. There's no audition, just come along and enjoy yourself!
