Building on the success of the Sea Shanty Workshop earlier this year, The Letchworth Settlement is offering a workshop looking at folk and traditional songs, sung acapella, led by Simon Bailes from Dunton Folk.

In the workshop he will be looking at some simple rounds, some longer chorus songs and then some songs split into two or more harmonies. There may be a sea shanty or two, some songs not in English and then songs from around the United Kingdom.

The core of a folk choir is having fun. Enthusiasm is essential, raw talent is not. Come along and enjoy a couple of hours in the company of like minded people. The joy of singing together is well known so come and experience it first hand!

No experience is needed and although sheet music and lyrics will be provided, the songs will also be taught by ear so you do not need to read music.
