Location

Fownhope, Herefordshire

Description

A series of Seasonal Community Folk Choirs through the year, with song sharing in the spring, summer, autumn and winter – including some fun with Herefordshire Carols (collected by Ella Mary Leather) and ‘Village Carols’ from the Sheffield tradition in the run up to Christmas.

These are short burst choirs of 4 weeks at a time, with a focus on seasonal and local traditional songs – as well as rounds and simple warm up songs from the global folk tradition.

This is an opportunity to sing for pleasure in a relaxed & friendly group atmosphere – singing for the love of singing – and for enjoyment of folk song and community.

All songs will be taught by ear, and no experience is necessary. All voices are welcome, there is no audition, and no-one will be asked to sing on their own. No music reading is required.

Our next seasonal Choir is March 2025 for some spring songs.

Join us on Thursdays (6th, 13th, 20th and 27th), 7pm – 8.30pm, at the Fownhope Pavilion.

Subsequent choirs this year will be in June at the earlier time of 6.30 – 8pm and in October, 7 – 8.30pm, both on Thursday evenings. In late November / December we will meet on Sunday afternoons for our Village Carols.
