WHETHER YOUR ONLY audience is your housemates while you sing in the shower or you’re always the first person to get a sing-song going, we all know how good it feels to belt out a tune you love.
If you need more convincing to channel your inner Mariah, a study at the University of Oxford found that singing can improve our happiness and well-being.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up four events around the country that will have you singing and smiling all day long.
When: 15-16 February
Where: The Harbour Bar, Bray, Co Wicklow
Combine singing with comedy and you’ve got an event you’re almost guaranteed to leave laughing. Sing and dance like nobody’s watching (nobody ever is) alongside strangers and friends to feel-good hits for the ultimate uplifting experience.
