This weekend I’m singing. OK I know, I sing all the time, but this is in public, and at the South Bank Centre. The magnificent Chorus festival, a fixture for several years now over the May Bank Holiday, is on from Saturday to Monday, with warm-ups, rehearsals, workshops and performances.

YOU can join in! Download the sheet music for the three songs for the opening session, come along to a rehearsal on Saturday at 11 or 12, and sing your head off at 1pm.

This is also your last opportunity to work with the glorious Mary King at the South Bank because she’s leaving!!!! She’s leading some warm ups and a workshop of Elizabethan catches (I love a good catch). So come along and take the opportunity to say goodbye.

There are performances throughout the day and you can catch us, in our new guise of Vocal Chords, on the Mandela Stage, Festival Terrace, at 1pm on Sunday. Our friends Trade Winds are also performing, on Saturday, at 2:30, same place.
