Location

Fownhope, Herefordshire

Description

A series of Seasonal Community Folk Choirs through the year, with song sharing in the spring, summer, autumn and winter – including some fun with Herefordshire Carols (collected by Ella Mary Leather) and ‘Village Carols’ from the Sheffield tradition in the run up to Christmas.

These are short burst choirs of 4 weeks at a time, with a focus on seasonal and local traditional songs – as well as rounds and simple warm up songs from the global folk tradition.

This is an opportunity to sing for pleasure in a relaxed & friendly group atmosphere – singing for the love of singing – and for enjoyment of folk song and community.

All songs will be taught by ear, and no experience is necessary. All voices are welcome, there is no audition, and no-one will be asked to sing on their own. No music reading is required.

Choir seasonal sessions for 2026 are –

SPRING: March 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th.

SUMMER: May 14th, 21st and 28th and June 4th.

AUTUMN: October 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

All dates are Thursdays, 6.30 – 8pm, at the Fownhope Pavilion.
