News - Voices PLUS singing day October 8th 2011
A high energy self-contained day of singing for adults took place on Saturday 8th October 2011 near Fakenham in Norfolk. It was part of a series of singing days that Jane is leading called VOICES PLUS in which the voices are joined for part of the day by an instrumentalist not commonly associated with singing groups. On this occasion the morning included relaxing voice warm-ups and the learning 'by ear' of songs from a mix of jazz, folk and gospel styles. In the afternoon Richard Hall, trombonist who plays in several ensembles around Norfolk including Jane's Hoofbeat band, joined the workshop to add his silky and soulful playing into the vocal textures. The day took place at Hempton Memorial Hall from 10.30am-3.30pm near Fakenham in Norfolk. Around 30 adults from beginner to more experienced singers took part.
