Lauren Dove taught her first Gospel and Soul Singing workshop back in 2014 following an inspirational sabbatical to the States in 2009 where she worked at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in the Gospel tent, attended a masterclass at New Orleans University by Mavis Staples and attended the church service of Rev. Al Green in Memphis. Lauren’s love of Gospel singing was inspired by hearing Eva Cassidy singing Wade in the Water. Studying Gospel, Soul and Jazz at Goldsmith’s University under choir leader Mike King, she also took part in Gospel Phoenix at the Colchester Institute.

Lauren Dove can usually be found fronting The Dove and Boweevil Band, but has also recorded and performed with Brenda Holloway and Richard Caiton, Speedometer, Ria Currie and Mondatta Funk as well as backing gospel singer for Take That with Invidia Voices.

This is a workshop looking at Gospel and Soul harmonies and techniques. All ages are welcome but some harmony experience might be beneficial. Expect some light movement.

Tea and coffee refreshments are provided as well as lyric sheets. There is no need to read music.
There are buses from Norwich Bus Station to Bramerton Corner.

Come join us at Bramerton Village Hall in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, 10 minutes drive from Norwich.
