Music at St Robert's

Could you help make music at St Robert's?

Music plays an important part in our worship at St Robert’s, helping us to pray, celebrate and participate more fully in the Mass. We are always keen to welcome new singers and musicians who might be willing to share their gifts with the parish.


Whether you are an experienced musician or singer, or simply someone who enjoys singing and would like to become more involved, we would love to hear from you. In particular, we are looking to further support the incredible musicians and singers at both our 9am and 11am Sunday Masses.


There are opportunities for singers as well as instrumentalists, and you do not need to make an enormous commitment. Even being available from time to time can make a real difference.

Matt Blackamore, our Parish Pastoral Council co-ordinator for parish music, would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in finding out more.


Please use the form below to contact Matt via the Parish Office.


Come and help us make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
