Amazing Grace

A version written by Tony Backhouse – I’ve been singing and teaching this for years but somehow it just began to take on a life of its own this year. I wrote an intro and a vamp part to go with it. It’s a wonderful combination of being very easy but still musically interesting. www.tonybackhouse.com

Nominated for: Favourite song/arrangement, Golden Chutney Award

For my favourite song or arrangement (not mine), that I’ve taught at lots of workshops and just don’t get sick of teaching.

  • About The Golden Chutney Awards

    Golden Chutney Award

    Back in 2007 when a group of us were recording songs for To Grace The Earth – a book of short and easy warm-up songs produced by the Natural Voice Practitioners Network, we devised an unofficial awards system as we recorded our way through 65 songs.

    So many of the songs were remarkable for different reasons and we spent the week making up categories on a whim then nominating songs. We also ate a lot of chutney that week and so the Golden Chutney Awards were born.

    For the past few years I’ve had an unofficial awards scheme running in my head so I’ve decided to formalize it. Winners will be announced in the first week of January and awarded with a certificate or jar of chutney – if they’d like one!
