I think I can speak for many who were there on Saturday when I say that the singing in Lewes, the UK's "southernmost" Sacred Harp event, was a big success. It...
We had the first London Singing School yesterday at St. James's Church in West Hampstead, London, NW6. It was a success beyond my expectations, due to the...
Our next singing school is on 20 July 2008, again at St. James' Church in West Hampstead, almost directly opposite West Hampstead tube station (Jubilee Line)....
Sorry, I missed some people out who didn't sign up - we had 23 yesterday, not 21. These are great numbers, folks! ... Edwin ... which ... interactive ... ...
Many thanks to Cath and Phil for the excellent sing in Newcastle on Saturday. The pre publicity worked well and more than 60 people turned up. More than half...
Yes, it was excellent, thanks to the North East contingent for organising another great day. We really enjoyed it and it was also good to meet some interesting...
Sorry I was not able to come after all, having just recently fallen in love. Just couldn’t tear myself away but will be looking out for Singings near...

Rosemary, What a nice excuse! Not to worry, we are having another London Sacred Harp singing workshop in July (see below) and then 2 more later in the year....
Just wondering if there's anyone here in the Lincoln area? It's been far, far too long since I went to a singing, and I'm wondering what the closest one is! ...
... Nick, I guess closest to you in the next few months will be Sheffield in October and Stapleford in November (details via the UK Shape Note page which is in...
Ian is quite correct in his assessment of which sings are nearest to Lincoln. However earlier than these and not much further is the UK National Convention at...
& if you're up for it, there's a beginner's workshop / singing day on June 28th in Oldham. There's a flyer in the sacred harp group with all the details. ...
This is not meant to be a criticism, but I found the expression "the best Sacred Harp singers in the UK" a strange one. Since no experience, voice training or...
Hi Nick It is only 2 hours drive from Lincoln to Hitchin for New England & New Writings (Northern Harmony and Norumbega Harmony and new compositions) this...
... expression "the best ... voice ... assume Chris ... hope all ... should be ... I understand your point. One of the things I really love about SH is its...
I totally agree Ian. I love sitting next to people who can teach me. I was just conscious of the fact that I've seen several postings recently that seemed to...
Thank you all for the advice! I'll see what I can make in the next few months and I'll try extra hard to make it to the convention. It's also been great to...
Hi all, I've been reading some of the info at the front of The Sacred Harp (1991) and it says: "The doubling of the tenor and treble (and sometimes the alto)...
Hi Nick I don'tlike men singing alto. If they have a tenor voice it is very different to the alto voice and falsetto would be all wrong as alto's use their...
You have to be careful when citing Billings especially in the context of Sacred Harp. It is not always clear whether he is referring to anthems and...
In practice, in Sacred Harp singings, the alto part is never sung an octave down. I'd love to sing alto but can't do the range with the required "chest voice"...
On Saturday, 7 June, a small but "lovely social band" convened at the Friends Meeting House in Hitchin for the 7th (?) June New England and New Writings Day to...
I went to the Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank this evening to hear countertenor Andreas Scholl sing a selection of Handel, Bach and Vivaldi arias -...
Dear All Martin has asked me to forward to you all the information that Scholl's concert (including encores?) will be broadcast on Radio 3 next Friday, 20/6,...
Dear all, Unfortunately I won't be able to host the next Monthly sing as planned in Honley this Friday (20th June) so unless anyone else wants to offer a...
The 'teenth Thursday' Sacred Harp sing will take place this coming Thursday 19 June at 30 Eynsham Road, Botley, Oxford OX2 9BP, starting at 7.45 pm. A warm...
Thanks to Sheila and Edwin for another great day singing. Thank you to everyone who has been thinking about Rex. He had his operation this morning (Monday) and...
Delighted at the good news, Lynne, we had you and Rex in our thoughts today. Here's to another two dog Oxford singing day in 2009! Sheila and Edwin ... From:...
