Lincolnshire Sings

A Celebration of Community Singing

10am - 4pm

Broad Street Methodist Church, Spalding PE11 1TB

A wonderful day of mass harmony singing led by inspiring community singing leader, Dave Camlin. This event is open to anyone who enjoys singing in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment.

Dave Camlin is a nationally and internationally renowned singer, composer, researcher and educator from west Cumbria, UK. He performs solo and with a number of ensembles including a Capella quartet, Mouthful. He leads choirs in the ‘natural voice’ tradition, and is also a Lecturer in Music Education at the Royal College of Music and Trinity-Laban Conservatoire. In this workshop, we’ll explore how our singing voices can help us connect: to ourselves, to each other and to the world around us. No previous experience necessary, and learning repertoire mainly by ear, so no need to be able to read music. Bring your voice in whatever condition you find it, and together we’ll weave a temporary republic of harmony in the air!

Tickets are £12. Available from www.eventbrite.co.uk

*We have an allocation of 'pay what you can' tickets, please call 01522 510073 or email singing@soundLINCS.org for more information.
