Paphos Zingers choir

Karen Roe

Singing is so therapeutic, it is my oxygen. I joined Zingers in its conception back in 2010 and I know it’s corny, but it has changed my life.

The group has helped me through some really tough health problems and the singing kept me going when nothing else could.

I am so proud to be able to give something back to our wonderful charity Cancer Patients Support Group.

As a little girl I was always singing. From the age of three, I am told I used to sing “In Summer Time,” but I only knew one line, “lazing on a sunny afternoooooon.” It drove my family crazy.

I continued singing through my childhood. I was in the choir and the folk club at school and sang a Requiem in the church choir.

I was a member of Bradford Retail Amateur Drama Society (BRADS), singing in many pantomimes. At school, I had to be in every play.

I had a 20 year gap with no singing until I joined the Zingers.

As their P.R. and Marketing representative I am kept very busy. Zingers plays a very large part in my life. I could not possibly think of life without Zingers or my wonderful Zinger family.
