THANK YOU SO MUCH to all our performers and supporters on 19th July – we are delighted to announce that we raised £1716.40 in total and Cancer Care and Carer Support South Lakes have each received a wonderful £858.20. This money will be spent caring and supporting local people at times in their lives when they need it the most.  We all had a most brilliant evening. Here are just a few of the many positive comments we received…

“A joyous evening.”

“A evening filled with the feeling of warmth and purpose. Absolutely great fun!”

“Wow that song Let Time Be Your Friend was so complex and gorgeous!”

“I felt a huge sense of togetherness and inclusion.”

 

A Bracing Sing!

The Growing Singers were delighted to be invited to sing at CountryFest – “a fun-filled weekend for all the family. Arena demonstrations, food, craft and shopping marquees, baking and craft sections, historic cars, military vehicles, lots of food & drink or soak up the sunshine (fingers crossed!) and kick back listening to one of the many amazing performers on the band stand.”

However the weather had other ideas.

We didn’t let it dampen our spirits as we performed twice during the day with lots of familiar and rousing songs. Our brave audience clapped as loudly as ever – we sooo appreciated that!

Busking for Kendal’s Nature Recovery Festival

The Growing Singers entertained the good people of Kendal in support of our first Nature Recovery Festival. The sun shone and an appreciative audience gathered round us as we sang. Later in the day, we sang in the surprisingly beautifully resonant space near all the stall holders of the festival. Thank you to everyone who stopped, smiled and listened to us! We so enjoyed adding our support and songs to this important cause.
