UPDATE (9/3/2012)
There are now 30plus booked, and with last minute takers - the day will probably be about 40.
Our current plan is to bring: a mediaeval pilgrims' dance song from Montserrat; a sweet 3 part song from Ghana; 5 part Harmonic Temple chant; and a hearty welcome song. Some songs will be upbeat, and one will be gentler and more meditative. We usually visit a range of different cultures, traditions, and musical styles on our workshop days - so you can expect about 6 songs all completely different in feel. Hopefully something for everyone.
OUTers's feedback from previous workshops... (direct quotes)
"It was great to see how you both create an atmosphere of trust that empowers people to sing. It's clear that you both enjoy working together."
"Sarah & yourself were great fun & made things appear so easy! The songs were great & although I have sung for many years, this was a new experience for me & thoroughly enjoyable."
"I didn't know singing could be this much fun. How did you get us to do such amazing songs? You and Sarah are seriously good at what you do."
"Many thanks for a great weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed it, very inspiring, relaxing and banished away all my cobwebs!!"
