Dear all
Here's some information about singing opportunities with David Burbridge
Sally
Dear Singers and friends,
I hope you had a good summer. This is to let you know that booking is now open for our singing events through the autumn - and into next year.
Due to popular demand, we've got some extra accommodation so now have some more space on our Folk Carols festival in Dent over the first weekend of December - and also on our Singing Settle Carlisle railway weekend over the first weekend of October. Please let me know if you would like to join us on a week-long Tour of Slovenia learning and singing Slovenian and English songs over the half term holiday in late October. And then next year we have our traditional Lakeland Songline four days hill walking and singing through the Lake District, and a week on Jura over Easter back at Ardlussa House at the northern end of the island.
And finally, if you would like a tailor made choir visit to the Lake District or Slovenia meeting other choirs - we can arrange it for you. Please forward this email to those who might be interested.
Tuesdays from September 11 - Lakeland Voices. Community choir in the Castle Street Community choir - warm ups, songs taught by ear, interesting folk harmony from the UK and around the world - including a bonanza of folk carols which we'll sing in the pubs nearer Christmas. And cracking good company.
October 5-7 - Singing Settle Carlisle Railway. Learn and sing songs to sing in harmony on this magnificent mountain railway. Accommodation in the Old School opposite the Hill Inn, Ribblehead near Ingleton. Workshops, railway walks, concerts, ceilidh, singarounds, meals, train tickets, and accommodation - £115 all inclusive.
October 27-November 3 - Slovenia - join a group of singers touring Slovenia meeting local choirs, learning Slovenian songs, with concerts, walks, sightseeing, meals, accommodation, transport etc. - £360 - plus cheap Easyjet flights from Stanstead to Ljubljana.
November 30 - December 3 - Dent Folk Carols festival - join us in this ancient Yorkshire Dales village for a feast of carol singing - from old to new and from near and far - with workshops, concerts, singing walks, Christmas market, festive meals, pub singing, Slovenian carols, and single/twin/double rooms in village cottages from £12 per session - or whole weekend with accommodation and meals: £115-£140 - this year with a Sunday evening event and three nights accommodation if wanted.
2013 - Choir visits to the Lake District and Slovenia. If you lead or sing in a choir and would be interested in your choir meeting local and visiting choirs here in the Lake District or in Slovenia - please get in touch. With enough notice we can usually arrange visits to suit your needs which can include songs swaps, workshops, concerts, meeting local and visiting choirs and singers, walks to sing in places of extraordinary beauty....even singing on Lakeland steamers and in vast caverns. Depending on your budget we can arrange meals and accommodation ranging from camping, through youth hostels and bunk barns, to luxury accommodation with twin and double rooms - from just £95 each for the weekend. Or join our regular mid-June Choirs Meet in the central Lake District.
We also continue with our regular singing events throughout 2013 including our Spring Sing Thing Lakeland walk and workshop March 23, a harmony singing week on The Scottish Isle of Jura - March 29-April 5 , our Lakeland Songline 4 day walk through the Lake District May 24-27.......and many other events detailed on our website.
Best wishes to you all,
David

"And this shall be for a bond between us: that we are of one blood you and I; that we have cried peace to all and claimed fellowship with every living thing; that we hate war and sloth and greed, and love fellowship....and that we shall go singing to the fashioning of a new world." William Morris
