Location

The Community Farm is in the heart of the Chew Valley near Bristol and overlooks Chew Valley Lake.

Description

The Roundhouse Community Choir was set up in April 2023 by David Emmett, inspired by the surroundings of The Community Farm next to Chew Valley Lake. He has a background singing in choirs including the Shakti Sings, at many workshops and the occasional protest.

Inspirations and mentors include: Sophia Efthimiou, Helen Yeomans, Nickomo Clarke, and Nick and Susie Ro Prater. He fell in love with harmony singing around eight years ago and is inspired to bring a little of its magic to his local community.

This is a drop in choir so there is no commitment to come to all the sessions in a term. We are of no particular faith or political leaning but we do sing songs that have meaning. We focus on humanistic themes and celebrating our relationship with the natural world. The venue is a natural wood framed building set in a beautiful garden overlooking the lake.

The price of each session is £5 per person and can be paid by cash on the day, or multiple sessions can be paid by bank transfer; just ask for details.
