How to pay
Please either transfer your payment with your name clearly in the reference to me at:
Fran Andre, 04-00-04, 04055473.

Or... if you would feel more comfortable booking by ticket tailor you are very welcome to do this (they do however add fees).

I need 35 sign ups to make this work - I so hope we can get there! Please do sign up as soon as you can, and I will let you know mid August if it is viable. If it is not, I will of course refund you your payments (minus fees if ticket tailor).

Additionally for every choir I run I offer 5 'pay-what-you-can' spaces. These are designed as support for those in challenging circumstances who would still like to sing on a regular basis. Please do let me know if you'd like to explore taking one of those.

Drop in singers: It will be possible if we have a good core of committed folks to have some drop in singers too - let me know if you are interested in that and we can take it from there.

Fran's bio is here! 

Videos of Fran's choir Circle of Song in Buckfastleigh are here, here and here!

Expect riotously fun joyful singing in harmony, accompanied by pockets of heartful soothing singing which really is community heart medicine. Fran has a particular love of music of the African diaspora, including West and South African songs and also gospel. She will also bring a variety of folk styles from different traditions around the world, including homegrown talented folk song creators from these isles.

Singing together is our birthright!  Fran feels passionately about the power of group singing as a way for us to feel the palpable nourishment of community connection and has an excellent track record at creating joy, community connection, laughter and friendship through song.
Creating harmony together with our voices, gives us a felt sense way in to creating harmony in our lives and worlds too - and it's wonderful for your general sense of mental wellbeing!

All are welcome - you do not need any previous singing experience. As the Zimbabwean proverb goes 'if you can walk, you can dance, if you can talk, you can sing'! All songs will be taught by ear in a gentle, inclusive, encouraging atmosphere.
