The choir returns to the Mental Wealth Festival to perform a moving selection of tracks from their collaborative Spotify album, In This Circle Is My Heart, as well as a new song, Isolation.

Join the Chorus and Sing Along!

This is not a traditional concert where you just sit and watch. The Dragon Café Singers and Mental Fight Club believe that singing together heals, connects, and strengthens our collective mental wealth. During the performance, the choir will teach the audience the choruses to their songs. You are warmly invited to lift your voice, join in, and become an active part of the music. No singing experience is required - just a desire to share in a joyful, welcoming vibe.

Two weeks ago at The Dragon Café in the City, we gathered to celebrate Christine’s retirement and to thank her for everything she has brought to our community since 2021. 💛

For the past five years, Christine has helped build the community around the Café, organising and facilitating creative, social and wellbeing sessions that have brought so many people together. Thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate with her and wish her well in this next chapter.

We’re also very happy to welcome Constança and Aamina to the MFC team! Constança will be taking on the organising and running of The Dragon Café in the City, while Aamina, who previously volunteered with us, is joining our team and will be helping to support our regular events.

A warm welcome to you both. We’re excited for all that’s ahead!
