Roots & Shoots – A Multigenerational Singing Group
Come and be part of a joyful, inclusive singing community where voices of all ages come together. We’ll explore a rich mix of celebratory songs, soulful laments, catchy ditties, uplifting sea shanties, and music inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Our repertoire includes community songs alongside traditional and contemporary folk from the UK and across the globe, sung in simple 2- and 3-part harmonies. Expect plenty of fun too, with circle singing, rhythm games, and playful vocal activities that everyone can join in.
This daytime group is perfect for anyone who loves to sing in a relaxed, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking to connect with others across generations or simply want to learn songs to take home, you’ll find a place here. Families are warmly welcomed: the session leans towards songs that engage children while still being enjoyable for adults.
Children, tweens, and teens are welcome to join in (or simply listen), and there will be a space for quiet play and crafting, just bring a responsible adult along. While younger children are very welcome, we ask that they’re able to settle so the group can stay focused on the shared singing experience.
No auditions, no pressure, and no need to read music—we learn everything by ear, with lyrics provided when helpful.
