I write arrangements for community choirs and am very committed to (traditional)folk material. I co-run the Clay Chorus and the Mystery Singers in Stoke-on-Trent with Kate Barfield. She also runs the Loudmouth Women and the Seasonal Singers on her own. recent stuff sung by these choirs include English songs John Barleycorn, O Good Ale, Shallow Brown, Searching for Lambs, Leave Her John Leave Her, Tom's Gone to Hilo plus numerous carols; also folk material from other traditions. The choirs all sing new material as well They choirs are all open access, no audition, no music-reading.
