Dean Davis

Dean is a proud member of the Sainsbury Singers, where he does his very best to sing the right notes at roughly the right time and occasionally even succeeds! He joined for the music but stayed for the laughter, lifelong friendships, and the wonderful feeling of being part of something special.

A devoted husband to his lovely wife, Rachel, and proud dad of two, Dean spends his time away from rehearsals watching football, enjoying a good rum, or if he's really lucky, both at the same time.

He's thrilled to be part of the Sainsbury Singers Podcast and can't wait to share the stories, memories, and behind-the-scenes moments that make the society such a special place. He hopes you'll enjoy getting to know the Sainsbury Singers as much as he has.

Kaz Grainger

Kaz has been part of the Sainsbury Singers for over a decade, dabbling in everything from onstage to backstage. After graduating with a degree in Musical Theatre and becoming a mum shortly afterwards, she needed something to scratch that performing itch. A quick Google search later, and the rest is history.

Now a proud mum of two and wife to a very patient husband, you'll often find Kaz mucking out a stable, trying to convince other people's children that Maths and English are actually fun, or planning her next theatrical adventure.

Being part of the podcast is just another reason why she loves performing. She can't wait to take you behind the scenes, share the stories that make the Sainsbury Singers so special, and bring you along for the journey.
