DEE SIGN
BSL CHOIR
THE CHOIR
Originally formed in 1997 “Dee Sign” Choir performs in British Sign Language to music. British Sign Language (BSL) is the official language of Deaf people in the UK. We translate the words of many popular songs into BSL and perform them at events in and around Chester.
The Choir is made up of parents of Deaf children, students of BSL, volunteers and members of the local Deaf Community.
As we perform mostly in the Chester area our name is a combination of the river “Dee” and what we do best ..... “Sign”.
We hope that Dee Sign Choir will encourage more people to learn BSL and become involved with the local Deaf Community.

THE MUSIC
The music we sign to is varied, Pop, Rock and Christmas Songs and Carols in season..
Not every song lends itself to sign language and repetitive songs although tuneful are boring to do.We try to choose interesting songs where the signs flow into one another making the appearance of what we do more graceful.
Profoundly Deaf people in our choir only have the words of the songs not the music, so it is important that they like what they are signing.
