For those of you who might be interested we'll be holding a Harmony Workshop on Saturday the 11th July. We'll be offering and practising harmony lines, both high and low, for many of the songs, firming up some you might already know and adding some new ones.
The songs we sing all only have their melody lines written down, so the harmonies we are adding are purely for variety and pleasure and are completely open to evolving as you choose. Usually at the monthly practices there isn't particular time to focus on the harmonies, so a day to concentrate on them should be most fruitful.
It will run from 10 til 4 at the Beechwood Hall Hotel in Worthing. There will be breaks in the morning, afternoon and at lunch-time, but still plenty of time for loads of singing. Come along and learn some new harmonies, or enjoy really getting to grips with the ones you already sing!
N.B. We’ll be in the downstairs “Aga Suite” at the Beechwood and space will be more limited than at our usual gatherings to sing. So if you want to confirm a place at the workshop please let us know via the SDFS email address southdownsfolksingers@gmail.com – or be first in the queue on the day!
Welcome to our website for singers who want to learn and sing traditional and new South Downs folk songs, sung in the traditional way. "Put another barrel on, landlord, and pull a pint for me! The ale here in Sussex is the best we all agree!"
