St Laurence Hall, The Shambles, Stroud, GL51AP

I’ve finally done what I’ve been promising to do for a long while and I’ve booked in a slot for a New Afternoon Choir.

This choir will have all the yumminess of Stroud Folk Choir, singing rousing shanties, joyous celebration songs, haunting laments, catchy ditties and songs celebrating the natural world around us. Traditional and contemporary folk songs from our own fair isles and from other cultures around the world taught in 3 and 4 part harmony. We will also spend more time doing circle singing and playing gentle and accessible voice and rhythm games.

This is for people who love to sing and prefer daytimes to evenings, for anyone who’d like to be part of a cross-generational singing community and learn new songs to take away with them. Families are welcome.

Children over 5 are more than welcome if they want to sing, as well as tweens and teens, though must all be accompanied by a responsible adult. Younger children are not excluded but this is not a specific parent and toddler group and the integrity of the singing we do together is important in order for the cross generational nature of the choir to work, so I ask that your little one is likely to be settled during the sessions.

This is a non-audition community choir and we’ll be learning the songs by ear, so there is no need for you to read music. Words will often be provided for the  more lengthy songs.

We’ll team up with members of Stroud Folk Choir and Sing Ahoy! (Dursley) for some collaborative outings, performances and local community events.

Our trial session will be on Tuesday 8th October and will continue weekly during term time.

These sessions will be drop in whilst we grow and the cost will be:

• £8 per Adult
• £5 per child over 12
• £3 per child 5-11
• Cash or Card on the door

Please see http://withonevoice.co.uk for more information on the choirs, workshops, retreats and courses that I run.
