Description

Sweet Harmony was born in April 2014. There are usually around 50 members, some who have been part of the group since the beginning and others who have joined us along the way.

We sing in harmony and a capella – without instrumental accompaniment – embracing a broad spectrum of music: Blues, gospel, funk, pop and folk from all over the world, including songs from right here in Wales. There is no need to read music – all songs are taught by ear

The singers are very warm and welcome new members.

Absolutely everyone is welcome; humans of all ages, genders, racial heritage and levels of musical experience.

We have taster sessions at the start of each term and then people commit for the whole term. This really strengthens regularity of attendance and allows us to go deeply into the repertoire without having to reteach the parts every week. Members have access to recordings of harmony parts so they can practise between sessions.

Our main emphasis is on enjoying the learning and singing of gorgeous songs together, indulging in the pure deliciousness of creating mouthwatering harmonies, but we also like sharing our repertoire with others. We often do a performance at the end of term and sometimes sing at other events. Our gigs have included the following events/ venues: The National Botanical Gardens, The Narberth A Capella Voice Festival, Carmarthen Inter-faith day and Carmarthen White Ribbon Walk.
