Soul Divas: Here Come the Girl Groups, with Jo Sercombe 6th – 8th of May

Hey ladies, if you catch yourself dancing around in front of the mirror wielding your hairbrush as a microphone, then this is the singing workshop for you! Become part of a giant girl-group for the weekend and sing your favourite soul classics from the great girl-groups of the Motown era. We'll be looking at soul melodies and rhythms, singing backing harmonies, and vocal techniques that help to create that magic Motown sound, while swinging along with The Shirelles, The Marvellettes and others. This is an all-comers workshop run in a group-singing format. There's no need to be able to read music notation and all levels of vocal experience welcome.

Buddhism - A Philosophy for Life, with John Preston 6th – 8th of May

Buddhism is becoming increasingly well known in the West today. This introductory workshop covers the key Buddhist concepts. During the course we also explore the origin of Buddhism, its ethical foundation and enlightenment - the goal of the Buddhist path. The course will include an opportunity to experience a variety of Buddhist meditative exercises (10 - 20 minutes) seated on ordinary chairs. No special postures are required.

Sing the British Isles, with Chris Rowbury 10th – 12th June

You don't have to be a 'folkie' to enjoy singing traditional songs in wonderful 4-part harmony! Whether you only sing in the bath, or are in a choir, this weekend will use songs from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to create gorgeous group harmonies to die for. The British Isles have a rich singing tradition stretching back centuries. Popular songs of the 'folk' have been passed down orally from generation to generation in a range of local dialects and languages. Many of us learnt traditional songs at school. Songs such as The Skye Boat Song, The Ash Grove, Widdicombe Fair, Blow the Man Down and Cockles and Mussels. On this course you will learn traditional songs from the British Isles, all arranged especially for voice only in full glorious harmony. Some familiar, some unexpected, and some in new guises, but all guaranteed to delight and feed your musical soul!
