If you enjoy this sunny and upbeat flavour of music and enjoy singing then you are in for a treat! This day will introduce you to the next GraceNotes project which will start in September. Movement artist Katie McCormick will also be joining this coming terms project and will be facilitating movement into our songs. VERY EXCITING!!! So get in touch for more info and to book your place soon!
Acapellabella warmly invite those interested in our choir to come along to an evening of singing together and meeting our group. We will introduce you to a variety of our songs selection and projects we get involved in. Here you can enjoy being entertained and also join in with a workshop to experience how we learn and sing together. We welcome new members all year round.
What a wonderful weekend and a great opportunity to work with new facilitators, meet with other choirs and hear new Gospel songs….. and visit the beautiful city of Galway.
Looking forward to returning to Orgiva and Comares in a couple of weeks!!
What a great day! Started of singing with Acapellabella at the Sunday morning service in St. Matthias Church, then down at the market Hall where we were joined by GraceNotes and performed our Jazzabella set. Thanks to all who came and supported us. But my favourite part of the day was singing outdoors on the platform next to the Old Bank House whilst people were gathering for the parade – which was fantastic!! Well done to all who worked so hard to put the festival on……Ballydehob does it again!
Looking forward to working with both Acapellabella Community Choir and GraceNotes Vocal Performance Project on our collaborative Contemporary Jazz set ready for Ballydehob Jazz Festival…..Sunday 6th May.
The Roaring Water Boys are back!!! This season of sessions will run on Wednesdays from 8-10pm and begin on the 11th April. ALL men are welcome regardless of previous singing experience. It is a place to enjoy singing alongside others, learning to sing harmonies and exploring your own voice. The emphasis is on having fun in an informal environment.
Xmas singing came earlier for me this year…..and finished earlier than usual too. Ceol na Laoi had many appointments singing at The WestGate Foundation and the Nursing Unit at the Ballincollig Community Hospital. We also took songs out to the Glow Festival in Cork collecting for the Simon Community, Griffins Garden Centre collecting for local young cancer victim Ava and to Tescos for their childrens charity.
I especially enjoyed singing with the Cope Foundation and Co Action groups from Clonakilty again this year, when once again we took to the streets of Clonakilty in the Land Train to visit and sing for two nursing homes.
Have a great festive season everyone and stay warm!!
Great to see that local publishers, the Southern Star here in West Cork in this case, are enthusiastic about encouraging singing within the community.
Great day in Naas with a very interesting and inspiring group of people to work with. They day flew by and we packed alot in. Many suggested they would have liked the workshop to have lasted two days! I look forward to returning again next year to run more sessions. Good luck to ye guys!! Hope you get out there with what you learned and enjoy yourselves!
