St Peter's-on-the-Wall at Bradwell is one of the oldest standing buildings in Britain - built 650's by St Cedd. Looks like a barn, but was orginally a Celtic/Saxon cathedral. We'll be doing all the singing in this ancient building. It's right by the seawall along that stretch of Essex coast, and is undeniably beautiful. If you like big open skies, mudflats, and rich birdlife - then you'll love this place.
As far as the singing goes. No need to read music or be an experienced singer. Just bring your voice and we'll blend the mix together. You'll be amazed at how simple it is, especially in the friendly acoustic of the chapel. Though not a LGBT event as such - we're both gay/lesbian and it's always a friendly environment. But so you know the score: there'll be hetero singers there too.
The weekend runs from supper on Friday to afternoon tea or coffee on Sunday. And the cost is amazingly cheap!
Full weekend: £84 including all meals, accomodation and ridiculously low teachers' fees..
Special rate for Saturday only: £24 with lunch only; £30 with lunch & supper
If you want to come locally for just the Saturday - that's fine.
