Testimonial 2

Since moving to Spain 3 years ago, my singing aspirations and skills honed over many years, have been diminishing slowly through the seeming necessity to concentrate on other things! This has been in the main fairly reasonable but there has always been a continuing ‘niggle’ in my head, along with perceived deterioration in my vocal ability, to cause me some frustration!


Then a friend told me of a website she had seen about a singing group which was being formed in our area called The Incognito Singers which intrigued me! The overall layout of the site was vibrant and exciting and it drew me in enough to go along and investigate! 

Some people who had already joined the group made me welcome and the musical director David and his assistant Malcolm made some discreet enquiries as to my experience and vocal capacity! I was vague with my answers and looking back now, regret not having been more informative! At the time I decided less was more and I just wished to blend in with everyone and hopefully re-ignite my love of singing!


By the end of the two and a half hour session I was motivated and inspired to go further and continue even though I thought some of the songs were challenging for me vocally – having been more involved as a solo singer with loud bands supporting me and arranging the tunes and songs my way!

However, through a mixture of witty banter/chat, musical ditties designed to not only relax nerves but to make the vocal chords responsive and receptive, David Murphy re-ignited my faith in my singing skills, and, through diplomatic instruction of his well ingrained subject matter, united me with other like minded people to continue the formation of his potentially exceptional singing group! I say potentially exceptional in the belief that more voices are need and I would urge anyone who loves singing and wants to unite with others to continue the creation of a fabulously harmonic and melodic singing group to put themselves in David’s hands! 

Thank-you David, I know sometimes it must be very frustrating and irritating when we as a group do not quite grasp the instructions – you never show this and continue with patient and persistent re-visits to the bar or note! I so love this as I have been known to remark! I love your little stories of musical experiences and humorous situations linked to our similar experiences! Please know that you yourself and all the hard work you do regarding the website with the updates and information you put there, are very much appreciated.
