The idea

Hi, I’m Jo, and I'm a mum of two little ones. I found the early months with my first baby really hard, especially the long, lonely nights when everything seemed to feel a little heavier.

I know how much mothers need mothering too, and how comforting it can be to have the support of women who have been there before.

That’s why I started The Night Choir, a way to bring women together to sing for mothers awake with their babies. Some music, some company, and a reminder that you’re not alone tonight.

Whether you’d like to sing or simply listen, I’d love you to be part of it.

The inspiration

In California, the Norbertine Sisters rise at midnight to pray for anyone in need, including mothers up with crying newborns. I read their story in The New York Times and wanted to offer something similar in song.

Would you lend your voice?

You don’t need to be a professional. Just bring your voice and half an hour of your night.
