All Sing Pub Event (Growing Singing)
Occasionally we run an ALL SING event in Kendal somewhere. This just involves someone starting a song and everyone joining in. We usually pass a bucket round to make a collection for Growing Well at Low Sizergh Farm. Click here to join our mailing list if you’d like to know when the next one of these will be held.
Singing For Larks (Faith Watson)
You’ll hear us say this often! We cannot recommend Faith Watson enough. She is a very wonderful clear, supportive leader of songs and she is a genius of an arranger and therefore has a huge repertoire of arranged songs that are such a pleasure to learn. If you get a chance (and she does come near Kendal now and then) to go to one of her day workshops or weekends then take it! You won’t regret it.
The Wordsworth Singers (Cumbria)
Formed in 1997, this group from all around Cumbria and south Scotland meet up to sing classical repertoire several times a year. You can also enquire about joining via their website.
