Here’s what some of the guys who took part in Nottingham Men Allowed 2024 and 2025 had to say about the project
Haven’t had so much fun with my clothes on for years!! A very moving experience, thank you. Ian.
I hadn't quite managed to commit to singing in a regular choir. Now I definitely want to join one - but it has to be just like NMA! Andy.
It was one of the stand out experiences of my lifetime and I’ve done a lot! Ken,
The whole process was exciting watching the boys grow in confidence supporting each other throughout just made you feel good. Each week we could see improvements and were encouraged by the mentors . The culmination of the effort of everyone in delivering the big performance to our paying audience has left us all on a massive high and very proud to have been apart of it thank you. Mark.
Singing with strangers-turned-friends for charity was a heartwarming experience, uniting us in song and purpose, showcasing the power of music to bring people together for a meaningful cause. Flame.
So glad I made the decision to take part. A joy from beginning to end and an experience I will never forget. Julian.
It's the amazing people running the project that really make the experience. They couldn’t have been more welcoming, helpful, and encouraging. Chris.
I am so proud of what we achieved in such a short space of time. I think it exceeded everyone’s expectations. Adam.
I had no idea how much fun was going to be, and how singing with a bunch of lads makes you feel so alive. Do yourself a favour, sign up! Roy.
A once in a lifetime opportunity to learn something challenging, empowering and fun in a supportive and pressure free environment. Steve.
This was amazing with 6 weeks of rehearsals we as a group have thoroughly enjoyed learning a new skill and meeting like-minded people and raising money for a good cause. Push yourselves out of your comfort zone and do something good for charity. John.
Amazing experience and I would recommend everyone give it a go . One of the best things I have done for years and truly miss not being with everyone on a Tuesday night singing our hearts out. Gary,

You may think you can’t sing, but you’ll never know till you try and this is the perfect way whilst supporting a good cause. Barrie.
Singing with this great group of men increased my confidence in being able to sing in front of people and it was empowering to able to work with others to raise that amount of money. Nick.

Absolutely awesome and an experience I will never forget. My wife was so proud of the whole choir that she was in tears throughout the concert as it was a moving experience. Vincent.
Sent an email to join, and six weeks later, I'm stood on stage in front of a sold-out crowd feeling on top of the moon- not one regret! Sei.
Hands down one of the best things I've done. I feel so proud to have been part of it. Chris.
The project has been an immensely enjoyable experience in pursuit of a worthy cause and broadened my musical journey. John,
A feel good factor you would find difficult to reproduce! Mark.

It was one of the best experiences of my life. Chris.
An unbelievable experience, one of the best I have ever had, for an excellent cause. Sam
Joining other blokes for beer, song, and raising money for charity - that surely is the Rhythm of Life!! Steve.
I served as an engineer in the RAF and as a Police Officer in Nottingham. I’ve had some amazing experiences that I’ve been very proud to achieve and this was right up there with the best of them. It was done along with a great group of men but was very much a personal journey that I’ll always remember. Thank you. Richard.
It was a brilliant experience from start to finish. I learnt a lot about myself and it was pleasure to meet all the gents. Liam.
