Wonderful to be invited back to Norwich again by Meg Turpin and the Norwich Community Choir. Hopefully many others will join us too.
Then bringing my first workshop to Chelmsford to The Transition – an interesting looking artists space and cafe which I’m told will be excellent for singing in! So looking forward to meeting new people!
Singers from Dunmanway, Ballydehob and Glengarriff will be joining myself and fellow choir leader Jane Goss for a performance of songs in the Marquee on the town square at 3pm as part of this years’ Festival of the Sea. Looking forward to sharing a selection of up-beat contemporary and world folk pieces.
Later on at 6pm that day I will be leading a Harmony Singing Workshop open to anyone who would like to sing and will be held in the Marquee in St. Peters’ Church gardens. This workshop is part of a programme lined up over a few days for the Beara Arts Festival.
Delighted that Niki Bee is coming over to visit from Spain and bringing her wonderful creative energy with her. Niki is an artist who weaves songwriting, dance, beats, voice and guitar with spontaneity and flare! On this visit she will be leading a Flamenco Dance Workshop during the afternoon and performing some of her original songs and dance in the evening….following a session of wine tasting and tapas! I shall also be joining her with some of my own songs in the evening. Promising to be a lovely day out altogether!!
Recently I was approached about starting a choir in Glengarriff. So we decided to set up three sessions to see who we may attract!
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!
Looking forward to returning to Orgiva and Comares in a couple of weeks!!
This year I have taken the term off from leading my choirs and projects and travelled over to Portugal and Spain….for a break and some inspiration!!
I have been invited to run workshops in a few locations….here they are!
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!
What a brilliant weekend!! A group of ten of us traveled from Cork to join in with this festival under the name of Cork Community Voices….and what a fun time we had! Amazing workshop leaders and such a nice display of different choirs there! We especially enjoyed meeting and singing on the last night in the pub with the Ignite Gospel Choir from Galway!! Hopefully the first of many more visits to choir festivals.
Initially these sessions were set up with forming a singing group in mind, and have now been expanded to provide a facilitated space where people can come together with others to enjoy a variety of music activities such as: playing with rhythms and body-percussion, song writing, and playing instruments alongside singing songs. These sessions are open to anyone who would like to come along, regardless of experience.
