SUMMARY:Wytham\, nr Oxford
DESCRIPTION:Join Jennie Fisk and me for a big blast of joyful singing in the beautiful village of Wytham just outside Oxford. Last year’s workshop at Abingdon was epic and very special but we were worried about using the same venue in case of wind or rain – if you were there you’ll know what I mean  – (and if you weren’t then see if you can make a visit sometime to the ancient and quite extraordinary Abingdon Abbey). So this year we’ve moved to Wytham Village Hall where you can expect the same welcome and a big warm blast of singing and community. \nTeas and coffees will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch. \n

SUMMARY:Birnam 'Fèis'
DESCRIPTION:Over the years – since 2002 – I’ve often been lucky enough to lead the Harmony Singing workshops at the Adult Fèis in Ullapool. And when I say lucky\, I mean really extraordinarily lucky because the group of singers who regularly go to this event are just an amazing group of humans and great singers taboot. \nAnyway\, I’m digressing. Because we’ve sung so many great songs together over the years we decided to have a weekend to re-learn some of them. There are already 30 regulars booked onto this event but I’m opening it up to my mailing list singers as I know some of you would really enjoy this. It’s taking place at the Birnam Hotel in the beautiful village of Birnam in Perthshire. It promises to be a really fun high energy weekend with some amazing songs. \nThe price includes teas\, coffees and lunch at the Birnam Hotel but not accommodation. You can pay £105 by Paypal through the website or alternatively register below and pay £95 into the workshop account using the reference Birnam before your name – details below.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh – Harmony Workshop with John Mark Harrison
DESCRIPTION:I’m so delighted to announce this workshop with one of my favourite contemporary composers and workshop leaders.  John Mark Harrison from the US is an absolute delight to work with and if you haven’t experienced his workshops I recommend you book a place quickly!  John writes and arranges a wide range of contemporary American music including his own stunning compositions such as Panther; Many Many Waters; Cameron; Grateful.  I’ll be joining John and adding a couple of contrasting pieces into the mix but it will mainly be him leading. \nOnce again Hannah is going to provide her spectacular lunches and that’s all included in the price along with tea/coffee. You’ll be emailed nearer the event regarding access issues and dietary information.

SUMMARY:The Gatherings - February
DESCRIPTION:My vision for The Gatherings is to teach fairly simple things and just to have a really good sing once a month. As always I’ll be joined by Neil Squires (bass) and Christine Carson (piano). The singing is always glorious and as usual this event will be topped off by the great addition of fresh coffee and home-made cakes. No better way to spend a Saturday morning! \nSo come join us for February’s Gathering for a little bit of sunshine to get us through the last bit of winter. We can do it! \nTickets: choose what you can afford. The £5 donated tickets are for people living on long term low income or benefits. \n‘The way in which the whole experience touched my soul is staying with me and\, at some level\, still sustaining me. A huge Thank You for your gifted way of drawing us into such beautiful song and community.’ \n ‘What a great session that was. Thank you so much.’ \n
