Somewhere in my haste and enthusiasm I left off a vital bit of information about this workshop – because it is what we always do I somehow thought it was obvious, but it is’t!
It is a capella, 3-4 part harmony, not individual singing. Thanks for the question, Chris.
Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary taught by ear.

We could really do with a few more people to make this a viable event, so please pass the word on to singing friends.
It will happen anyway but at the moment we will make a loss on it, and it was supposed to be raising funds for Solstice Shorts Festival!

In preparation for our planned women’s vote centenary celebrations we’ve invited renowned chorus leader and song writer Val Regan down from Sheffield to run a singing workshop. Come and learn a mix of songs about women by Val and others.
Val has worked as a community musician since 1993. She leads choirs and singing workshops around the U.K. and Europe, plus a host of music-making, composition and theatre projects. She writes songs for community choirs, is published by Oxford University Press and firmly believes there is no such thing as a wrong note.
Come and spend an afternoon learning some great songs. The workshop will feature a new original song, Nasty, for feminists of all genders and none, plus an Icelandic gem and a traditional Sheffield carol.

£25 includes refreshments, and access to recordings after the event.
Big thank you to Nelly Naylor for permission to use her photos. There will be video as soon as I’ve sorted it out.
If you are sufficiently local to Sheffield, you can be part of the project by coming along on 12th May and Having your portrait taken by Tom Dingley.
And thank you for your help and enthusiasm, John Leach, Tim Machin, Trish Elwis, Val Reagan, Sally & Kythe and the rest of Out Aloud for making Tom so welcome.
