The shape note tradition is more commonly referred to in UK as West Gallery music. If anyone is coming to Whitby festival next year, we usually have a great week of West Gallery workshops led very often by Dave Townsend, who is one of the most knowledgeable people in the country about the tradition. I also find the power of the music totally awesome when you are standing in a square and really letting fly! |
