Hi Ruth We are going to stay overnight after the singing - do you have any ideas on small hotels or b&bs not too far away. If it's a B&B are there any eating...
Hi Ruth For the benefit of anyone else on the list who may also wish to stay overnight, I thought I'd post this to the forum rather than privately. We had a...
Sorry we can't be there, but we wish you all the best for it. We had the great pleasure and good fortune to take part in a sing at Worral (near Sheffield) the...

Hi James There are quite a few beginners coming along on Saturday, plus plenty of experts. The day will start off (after tea/coffee/biscuits) with a ...
I just want to add to Ruth's comments - I have been attending Shape Note sessions for a relatively short time but I have found the atmosphere very friendly and...
James, Just to echo about the sight reading issue, I feel certain the shapes will help you eventually read music & will be easier in terms of sight reading the...
Hello James I went to the shape note singing at Sidmouth Folk Festival last year and it really did help me to - finally - understand ordinary notes. I must...
Hi James - I will also offer my little bit of encouragement. Please do come along on Saturday, especially if you already have a love of the music. There is...
On behalf of all the East Midlands singers, I'd like to extend an invitation to all to join us for our Sacred Harp Convention on 21-22 April 2007. I've put a...
Just a quick reminder that next Friday evening is the Dewsbury house sing (4 miles from Junction 40 M1 nr Leeds/Huddersfield/Wakefield/Halifax - West...
Well, the Haddenham sing seems to have been a great success. Thanks to all who came along and helped to make it so :-) I am certainly considering booking the...
A gentle reminder that the March Oxford teenth house singing will be this coming Thursday, 15 March, at 30 Eynsham Road, Oxford, OX2 9BP. We are delighted that...
Ruthie has gently pointed out that I owe Jeremy an apology for re-naming him. Thripp he isn't, Shipp he most certainly is. Must put on glasses when reading...

Benny, Glad you enjoy the songs. I discovered them about 4 years ago thanks to Tim Eriksen and the addiction was fed again at Haddenham. Fortunately mentions...
After the success of Saturday's Shape Note sing, it was suggested that this could become an annual event. The venue is ideal - lovely acoustics, plenty of...
... which ... flexible ... 26th ... of ... long ... Ruth, As I mentioned in my pm to you, the East Midlands Convention will be 26 and 27 April 2008. Ian...
Hi Ruth If you are trying to work on getting an annual date, April is not a good month. Depending upon where Easter falls, the Sunday before is the Palm Sunday...

A big thank you to Jill and to Tony for yet another excellent singing day down in deepest Sussex. They have a fantastic venue to sing in, the sound was...
Hi Ruth I reiterate what Helen said. Because Easter moves around such a lot - it's linked with the Passover, then keeping the Haddenham singing on the same ...
