The Tonic Ska Choir takes place at St Margaret's Church, Highland Road, Southsea, PO4 9DD on Tuesdays at 7:45-9:30pm. It's free to attend and new members are always welcome.
The Tonic Ska Choir was funded by The Specials through their Encore album launch at the 100 Club and the tour that followed.
It is an uplifting choir that provides a safe and supportive environment for people to come together and sing covers of the biggest ska tunes.

Why they need our service
Tonic Music for Mental Health's mission is to raise mental health awareness, challenge stigma and promote mental wellbeing through music and the arts.
We help people to build their resilience, self-worth and confidence through positive risk-taking, accomplishment and artistic expression.
Many of our participants have previously been admitted to hospital and use Tonic as their way of staying well. Others use Tonic to aid their transition back into the workplace after a period of mental ill health. Many more have made new friends and built a support network through Tonic.
Our services help to maintain our community’s mental wellbeing – preventing hospital readmission and creating a better quality of life. Many are dependent on Tonic services to stay well and continue on their journeys of recovery.
Plan and expected results
The Tonic Ska Choir is a free mixed ability group. It empowers people to learn new skills, build self-esteem, make new friends and build a support network.
With your kind donations, we are able to provide opportunities for the choir to perform in safe and supportive environments all over the UK.
