Life as a mum can be wonderful, exhausting and, at times, lonely. It’s easy to spend so much time looking after everyone else that you forget to look after yourself.
Singing Mamas is a warm, welcoming wellbeing singing group where you can come exactly as you are. No auditions, no performances and absolutely no singing experience needed.
Together we’ll sing simple, uplifting songs from around the world, learning everything by ear in a relaxed and supportive space. Singing has been shown to reduce stress, lift mood, regulate the nervous system and help us feel more connected to ourselves and each other.
Babies and young children are very welcome. They can play, feed, nap, wander around or join in however they like. There is no expectation for little ones to sit still or be quiet.
After an hour of singing, we stay for tea, cake and conversation, because community matters just as much as the singing.
Whether you’re pregnant, a new mum, have toddlers, school-aged children or simply long for connection with other women, you’ll find a place here.
Come for the singing.
Leave feeling lighter, calmer and connected.
What to expect:

One hour of joyful, relaxed singing
Tea, cake and conversation afterwards
A friendly, supportive community
A space where both you and your child are welcome exactly as you are
You don’t need a good singing voice
You just need to come.

Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast have earned a devoted international following for their electrifying live shows, razor-sharp songwriting and the magnetic force of Caitlin Krisko’s powerhouse voice—praised by Rolling Stone as ‘arguably one of the best kept vocal secrets of the Southeast’.
Their new single ‘Heart of Gold’ is already earning national airplay on Planet Rock, and it’s not hard to hear why. With lyrics that dig deep and a performance that hits even deeper, it’s a powerful glimpse into the emotional terrain of Heirloom, their latest album. As Blues Matters put it: ‘With Heirloom on the horizon, ‘Heart Of Gold’ marks the beginning of what promises to be a defining era for Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast.’
Written in the wake of profound loss from the unexpected passing of Krisko’s mother and guitarist Aaron Austin’s stepfather in 2023, Heirloom explores what we inherit, and what we leave behind. It’s a record about lineage, letting go, and choosing what truly matters. Each track was shaped not just by grief, but by years of resilience, miles on the road, and a deep commitment to creating something real together.
Please note this is an 18+ all standing event, and the venue is accessed by stairs with no lift. If you have any enquiries please email thetreehouse@cheeseandgrain.com
