November 2015 - WOW!

What a great session!

If you weren't there last Saturday you missed a real treat. SUCH a turnout and SUCH a great sound.

Hear the evidence here, together with a little bit of background information (and another version) of that beautiful song, Haere mai.

Fantastic stuff.

We are really looking forward to seeing you again on 5th December, for a jolly good sing and a mince pie! Bring your friends and family. The more the merrier!

Best Wishes

Saturday 7th November. Come one, come all.

What a fab session last month.

Here we are again folks! Its almost time for our regular vocal trip around the globe.

We sing out on Saturday with SingWiv at 2.00, 7th November, as usual in Wivenhoe Scout Hut.

Please arrive early enough to book in, so that we can start promptly at 2.00 and take advantage of our full session.

Bring you friends, your family and your sworn enemies (you don't have to stand next to them if you don't want to) and lets make an even bigger and better sound.

See you then!

October 2015 songs for your delectation.

Wow! What a session. Great number, great songs and really great singing. Well done all and thank you Chris.

We sang a Russian song in Greek (Did you get in touch with your inner Russian? ), a favourite South African coming of age song  and a Negro Spiritual that just has to be my favourite of  this session."Oh Freedom". It is positively lush!

Here is the proof - a link to the recordings.

Enjoy!  We look forward to seeing you all again next month on 7th November.

A timely reminder!

Here we are again Folks.  Our next session is

                                                  THIS SATURDAY.

 I need to remind you that we have to keep numbers up if we are to continue into the new year. We had an excellent start to the singing season, so please come along on Saturday p.m. and bring as many as you can muster. Look forward to seeing you!

September 2015

Well! 

What a blast we had at our September SingWiv. Chris certainly doesn't believe in easing us in gently after our summer break, does he?

We did really well and here is the proof!  September songs

Click on the links to hear recordings of our songs and also a little extra from Chris - 

a youtube clip of the Mbuti Pygmies of the Ituri rainforest.

If you listen carefully, you can hear them singing the words Ama beli

I think you will all agree, it was a most enjoyable afternoon, with great numbers and a good number of new singers. 

We look forward to seeing you all again on October 10th, same time same place and there's room for more, so  bring a friend or two.

SingWiv, this Saturday, 12th September. 2.00

Hi All,

We've missed you.

 

We 're back this coming Saturday (12th September) at the usual time of 2.00, in the usual place, Wivenhoe Scout Hut.

 

We look forward to singing with you, your loved ones, your not-so-loved ones and anyone else who loves to sing in glorious unaccompanied harmony

with the inimitable Chris Rowbury leading from the off.

 

See you then!

YAY, WE'RE BACK (but where did summer go?)

Hello Singing People,

Hope you have had a lovely summer. 

Now it's time to get back to reality and back to our monthly singing sessions with Chris. Hoorah! I hear you cry. 

Yes, we have booked the hall until next June, so we are raring to go ahead with our next few months workshops, which commence on SATURDAY 12th SEPTEMBER at 2.00.

Put it in your diary now and lets have a really good start to the term. You are guaranteed songs that will warm your heart, calm the soul and cheer you up whatever the weather throws at us.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL,


BRING A FRIEND,


BETTER YET,


BRING TWO!!!
