St Rita Choir visit Sounding It Out

Members of Sounding It Out hosted a return visit of the St Rita Choir from Berlin last weekend. We first of all went on a walk around the resonant places of Bradford on Avon- St Mary Tory, the Saxon Church and the Tithe Barn, singing as we went. Then all 38 of us ended up in the Dandylion pub to have a delicious lunch, thanks to Shirley and Steve.
We attracted around 150 people at our joint concert on Sunday evening in Freshford village Hall. I think the highlight for me was the informal singing after the event, and of course dancing to the sounds of the Rough Street Jug Band!

Sounding It Out hosts St Rita choir from east Berlin

Sounding It Out went to Berlin last July, hosted by the St Rita Choir. We had a terrific time, and now it's the St Rita return visit. If you want to hear both choirs, come to an informal concert on Sunday 23 May at Freshford Village Hall, near Bath at 5.30pm. We will sing separately and together, then have a pot luck supper (bring food to share), gloriously entertained by the Rough Street Jug Band. Then probably followed by some spontaneous singing and fun.

Over the Sea to Skye- singing Holiday April 2010

The sun shone for seven glorious days in Skye - can you believe it- for our party of 23 singers, ranging in age from three to seventy. We climbed up mountains, pottered on beaches, went on an epic boat trip to Curuisk, played hilarious games in the pub in the evenings, and of course sang- a repertoire of songs including from the Hebrides, a Scots lullaby, Swing down Chariot via Northern Harmony, and a Yorkshire lowering song, aka lullaby. Michael cooked us outstanding 3 course meals each evening. We had a wonderful time together, and built our little community over the week.
