Carols - 'Tis the season! |
Cornish Carols Workshops and opportunities to 'Sing out' in our local community:
Don't know these carols (... yet)? ... No problem! I grew up singing these carols in Mousehole and Newlyn. For those who'd like to learn or refresh their memory of the beautiful harmony parts for the carols listed below - or who would just like to come along and have a jolly good sing, I will be offering 3 free Cornish Carols workshops in November & December on Thursday afternoons. Some new carols will be added this year (to be anounced shortly) & all voices are most welcome.
No charge for the workshops - but there will be donations pots for St Petrocs - the charity working to end homelessness in Cornwall and any contriution you'd like to make towards the cost of running the workshops. BRAVO and thank you to everyone who took part last year ... we had great fun ... and like previous years, we raised over £1,000 for St Petroc's work.

We have been invited to sing at the following places / events over the festive period Please make sure you sign up HERE by completing the CAROLS googleform if you are planning to come so we can tell venues how many singers to expect.
