Who are MDBrunch?

MD Brunch is a skills sharing, training, networking and support organisation for people who facilitate singing. Through our events we aim to both create a safe space for vocal leaders, in this often lonely profession, whilst also promoting the vital health and well-being work that they all do for the diverse communities around them and the impact it has. Having grown over the last 6 years, MDBrunch now has a creative steering group of vocal leaders. MDBrunch is led by Co-Directors, Naveen Arles BCA (Founding Director) and Mel Field (Events Director).
