22 Jan 07 - 10:36 AM (#1944285) Subject: Shepley Singers From: GUEST,Bryony Griffith Hello everyone, I'm running a new community choir in Shepley, near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. We'll be learning traditional songs in parts, by ear or from music, for a performance at the new Shepley Spring Festival which runs from May 18th - 20th this year. Everyone's welcome, no auditions or anything, it's friendly, informal & fun! Tuesday Evenings 7.30-9pm at St.Paul's Church Hall, Shepley. If you'd like more info there are contact details for the festival here: (if it works...I'm not very good at links...soz!) http://www.shepleyspringfestival.com/ and they can put you through to me or you can just turn up tomorrow night! The more the merrier so please spread the word if you know anyone in the area who might be interested! Thanks, Bryony xx |

23 Jan 10 - 06:28 AM (#2819248) Subject: RE: Shepley Singers From: GUEST,Bryony Four years on and we''re still going strong, but wondered if we might be able to get a few new recruits?! We usually have about 20 regulars who come and up to 30 if everyone turns up....but, we''re a bit short of men in particular at the moment. So if you''re in the area and fancy a go at some 3/4 part harmony folk songs or know anyone who''d like to join us, (you need to have sung before or do an audition or anything!), rehearsals for our performance at Shepley Spring Festival (May 21st - 23rd)start next week: fortnightly: January 26th February 9th February 23rd March 9th March 23rd (Easter Break – quite long as I have gigs!) then weekly: April 20th April 27th May 4th May 11th May 18th Performances at Shepley Spring Festival 21st - 23rd May We rehearse at St.Paul''s Church Hall, Shepley from 7.45 - 9.15pm and ask for £2 a session to cover the hall hire etc. Cheers, Bryony |
