Joining the Seagulls has been the best thing I’ve done in a long time, it’s not often you say that Monday is the highlight of your week, but getting to learn and laugh and make music with the most wonderful people under the most fantastic teacher will do that to you in an instant! If you’re looking for a place to gain confidence in your musical ability this is the place because truly no one does it like Neville!’

 I so enjoyed the session last night, in the short time I've been with you i now feel included and that I belong. So many happy faces, this is my new happy place, Thank you !!

DH

Ahh that's lovely of you to say Linda. It's why I love it too, apart from being challenged and pushed with our clever maestro does in such a great way, our group are so welcoming and not at all "clicky" which i've found in previous groups, glad you're enjoying us! CM I agree Diana,It is without doubt the friendliest choir i have ever been in and it comes from the top.... that be you Neville

Since I have joined The Screamin Seagulls I have found a whole new family! My Seagulls Sisters and brother are so supportive of each other and we all want to do our very best for our brilliant, funny, caring and awesome Musical Director/Maestro Neville. We all look forward to our rehearsal evenings, we know the end result will sound amazing. It is life enhancing and a great joy to be a small part of this loving group of people. My life would be missing something vital and exhilarating without it.

"The Screamin' Seagulls Choir is The Best Choir Ever. Led by the very talented Neville Rowell, we sing a variety of song styles. We work hard, but we have a lot of fun and laughs along the way. I find it to be a safe and comfortable environment, everyone is really friendly and we all support each other, and get on well together. Neville is meticulous in his teaching methods, and draws out the best in everybody. The results are brilliant. I love singing with this Choir!"

I have been with the Seagulls for nearly 2 and a half years now and absolutely love it. xx Best choir I have ever been in with the very best choir master ♥️

EM

Joining Screaming Seagulls has been amazing for my confidence. Everyone is friendly and Nev works hard to really get the best out of everyone. Every rehearsal is great fun and I feel a sense of accomplishment too.

I joined the Screamin Seagulls at the very beginning, back in 2018. 
To start with, I just wanted to sing again , having previously been in an adult performing arts group, which was disbanded, I was missing being involved in music.
But the Screaming Seagulls is so much more than just singing.
We have grown into a choir where everyone’s voices are valued and people are cared about . Under the kind , creative and passionate guidance of our choir master, we’re not just any singing group. Neville coaches us to be the best we can and if you ever get to listen to us when we perform in public you’ll hear this.
When you join us you’re not just becoming part of a choir you’ll also become part of the ‘ Seagull Family’ where everyone looks out for each other. We’re all made to feel welcome and loved. 
I absolutely love being in this choir, there’s something very special about singing. Singing lifts you up and being with other like minded people, friends who value and respect each other, makes it the best choir to be in. I wouldn’t be any where else!!
Thank you Neville for being our ‘ Papa Seagull!’

I may not have the strongest of voices but Neville brings out the best in all of us, love my Monday evenings with such a great crowd

I joined about 6yrs ago,best thing I ever did. Learning songs from someone who is passionate in what he does. Also lots of fun,laughs and friends made

MC

I have been with the Seagulls for two and a half years and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and banter amongst the choir members, whenever we meet. The dedication and expertise of Neville Rowell to create the wonderful harmonies comes with its own rewards that anyone who has listened to the choirs finished results will attest to. Rehearsals on Monday evenings are a pleasure, and although sometimes challenging Nev spends as long as necessary to ensure all choir members (many of whom do not read music) are proficient with their respective parts, sometimes in as many as 5 part harmonies. I would recommend the Screaming Seagulls to anyone who likes to sing to come along and join us, you won’t regret it!

Have really enjoyed my first few months with you all. such a lovely group. so supportive. made some lovely new friends. looking forward to meeting up in January.

LS

Fabulous evening, I really enjoyed it. About 35 years ago I said i was finished with singing and never wanted to sing in a choir again either. Then along came Neville and the Screaming Seagulls and all that, and here we are.... I just love it.

DH

Thanks Nev, how we sound, how we do most of it is down to you expert tuition guidance and patience. We sound so lovely now.

I started going to The Screaming Seagulls in Feb after moving to Lowestoft from London I have sung and performed most of my life but while  dealing with Long Covid I needed to start being social again and stepping out of my shell once more Neville and Seagulls have helped me with confidence in my voice refinding its strength and there is a real sense of community we have a laugh but we work hard and create a fantastic sound all together Thank you Nev and my Seagull Darhlings!  xx

I joined the choir in August 2022 when they resumed after lockdown. From the moment I walked in I found everyone so welcoming and friendly.  We are a hard working choir but we have so much fun. Neville makes us laugh all the time, but he can be serious when it is needed. The harmonies we learn are brilliant, sometimes challenging but we get there in the end. I have made some lovely new friends along the way. Really enjoy my 2 hours on a Monday night.

EM

A really fun choir. Everyone is very welcoming. Neville is very patient and really helps get the best out of everyone. If you love to sing then this is a great place to be.

JS

Thank you all and Neville, for a wonderful rehearsal tonight I feel really uplifted and have a lovely glowy feeling. Although we had a couple missing this evening, we are a glorious sound! xxx

RM

What a fabulous evening, I feel so uplifted and so blessed to be amongst such a lovely group of people who all care so much about each other, and to have Neville at the wheel is the icing on the cake! xx

CG

screaming seagulls is a really supportive and fun choir to be part of which also spends time challenging you with new songs and develops you as a singer and choirb as a whole, with lots of wit and fun from our supremely talented leader Nev,

NL

I just LOVE choir, its my happy place, can't wait for next Monday!

CM

I think thank when you make us laugh Neville, when we don't get it quite right, it makes it so much easier to remember the correct way next time!

LB

We wouldn't be the choir we are with out you Neville!

ER

I echo everything that has been said. What and amazing evening we've had... I agree we all should be proud of ourselves. But yes without our "papa seagull" we couldn't have done it. Thank you so much, Neville for all your hard work and also belief in us all, We couldn't have done it without you.

JK

What a fantastic evening, we raised the roof and everyone should be so proud, and one man who inspires us to be the best is our dear Neville.

SH

Such a really great evening again. So look forward to Mondays, They just make you feel so good and its such lovely company. 7 more sleeps and it'll be choir again!
