We were disappointed that our carol singing at Hospice in the Weald and Knole were
cancelled because of the fierce storms.
GETTING READY FOR THE NEW YEAR?
Join us any Friday in term time at the
Vine Baptist Church, Sevenoaks TN13 3UP . Back on 10th Jan 2025 from 1.00-2.30 pm.
But nothing was going to stop our D'vine singers from gathering at St Luke's Community Carol Service, where we joined the heavenly throng, alongside St John's Primary School, the delightful PHAB Club - and, of course, Elvis - to bring a joyful start to the Christmas season!
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE NEW YEAR!
Starting on 10th January, D'Vine Singers will meet at the new time of 1.00-2.30 pm. That means you can have lunch first - and there's still time to pick up the children from school. What's not to like?
CELEBRATING 10 GLORIOUS YEARS!
With a little help from our friends!

ALL ABOUT US ...
If you're looking for emotional uplift and want to sing soulful songs with a bunch of friendly people, come and enjoy some warm companionship in our supportive singing group. We learn a wide range of songs by ear - and you don't need any prior musical knowledge or experience of singing in choir. Please make your way to the little blue door round the side of the building. We have a small car park at the Church and roadside parking alongside, including disabled bays if you need them. There's no fee as our Wellbeing Choir is grant-funded. If health or mobility is a problem, please let us know and we'll see what we can do to help. To find out more, please contact jacky.hintze@outlook.com or give Jacky a call on 07708 237415.
To come in on a Friday, please use the little blue door at the side of the building
OUR ROOTS
The D'Vine Singers are a friendly, informal group who meet to sing for fun, with a strong focus on mental wellbeing. We take our name from the Vine Baptist Church in Sevenoaks, where we meet from 12.00-1.30 pm on Fridays. The group began life as part of a funded research study into singing and mental health. When the project came to an end, with the value of singing getting a definite ‘thumbs up’, we were keen to carry on as an independent group and here we are today, still going strong after many happy years of mutual support. To read more about the initial research, please go to the Research section.
The originals! D'Vine Singers in the early days
And here we are now in 2024, our 10th Anniversary year, at a singing workshop with David Phelops.
OUT AND ABOUT
​
Although we mainly sing for fun, we do enjoy getting out and about in the community from time to time. There's no pressure to take part but lots of people find they get a 'buzz' from these occasions and we love sharing our joy of singing. Here we're joining the Forget-me-not Cafe at the Hayloft, upstairs in the Conservation Suite at Knole.

where the lively ladies join in some of the popular favourite melodies.
