FAQs

Not sure which membership suits you? We've put together some questions that we've been asked about our pricing and memberships.
Do you offer concessions/discounts for students or others?

Yes, we offer approximately 30% discount on our annual, monthly and Out-of-Town membership plans to those who are full-time students or receiving benefits. To receive this discount, you'll need to sign up for the free taster account, then discuss this with us over email when you organise your taster session. Discounts are at the discretion of London City Voices Ltd, and you'll have to provide evidence of full-time student status or low income status. Please do not ask for any larger discount than this - even at the non-discounted price, we already offer a lot for the price. London City Voices is our main source of income.

Can I set the date for my monthly direct debit to be taken?

You can't set an actual date, but it takes about week after you set up your Go Cardless account for your bank account to be debited. This means you should be able to set up your plan so the payment leaves your account at the most convenient time.

Can I start my annual membership at any time or does it have to be at the start of a year/term?

You can begin it at any time. The money should leave your account about a week after you set up your Go Cardless account, then it will be automatically debited again a year later.

Do you have a pay-as-you-go membership?

Our £7.50/month Pay-As-You-Go direct debit plan allows you to come to as many rehearsals as you like at £17 per session (payable by cash or card on the door). However, if you are likely to attend more than two sessions per month, you would find our standard Monthly plan better value. The Pay-As-You-Go plan does not give you access to our online rehearsals.

How does the direct debit work?

We use Go Cardless, the leading direct debit provider in UK. They handle all payments securely and you will receive a receipt from us via GoCardless when the mandate is set up. Your payment will be made automatically, so there's nothing for you to do, and you can cancel the direct debit any time.

Do you hand out sheet music?

Because of Covid we no longer give out actual paper music sheets. However, if you're a paid-up member you can download your music from the Members' Area of this website, and if you're coming to a taster session or you forget one week, don't worry. We have a QR code at each rehearsal which gives you access to a folder with all the music that will be covered that week. So as long as you have a smartphone or iPad you'll be able to access the music.

How long are the terms?

Our terms are usually about 13 weeks long. The spring and summer terms have a break part way through - for our skiing trip and our singing holiday in Greece - but our autumn term is a solid block. However, after our Christmas concert we usually do a couple of weeks of charity singing at mainline stations.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer a free taster session to all new members and then offer a range of memberships to suit all budgets so we don't generally offer refunds once the plan has been set up for you. If you are not sure if you can commit for the year, it is best to stick with monthly membership, and then you can cancel anytime.

Can I sing in the concert as a PAYG member?

If you have come to the right amount of rehearsals in a term as a pay-as-you go member (usually 6 or 7), then yes. But if you know you are going to come to more than 6 rehearsals in a term, we would advise you to join as a full member, either on a monthly or an annual plan, in order to save money.

I've attended my free taster. How do I become a member?

To become a member of London City Voices please join one of our membership plans, payable by direct debit. You can choose a monthly plan at £37.50 per month or an annual plan at £370 per year. The annual plan represents a £80 saving over the monthly plan. You can start these at any time. You can also cancel them at any time.
