25 Aug 13 - 10:28 AM (#3552644) Subject: RE: West Gallery Workshop @Poynton Cheshire From: Matthew Edwards Thanks for that henryp. I can strongly recommend the West Gallery Carols Workshop in Sedbergh; I went last year and enjoyed a day singing some very lively and vigourous carols including some interesting and unusual ones, some of which had strong local connections. Sedbergh is a lovely town to visit, and has some wonderful bookshops. Matthew |
