Join Nowell Sing We Clear’s Andy Davis and Revels North’s Artistic Director Alex Cumming for a special workshop day exploring folk songs old and new on the theme of spring and the changing seasons. We will be singing in glorious 3 and 4 part harmony. This workshop day is aimed at adults and teens. All experience levels welcome, we will learn songs both by ear and with sheet music. Participants in this workshop are invited to perform some of the songs at the Revels Spring Sing at 7pm on the same evening. Workshop tickets give you free attendance to the whole Revels Spring Sing concert.

More about Andy Davis:

Andy Davis plays accordion, piano and banjo, as well as calling dances. Andy taught music for 32 in Windham County Vermont, helped create New England

Dancing Masters—publishers of traditional dance books and recordings—and performed with Nowell Sing We Clear for many years. Andy has appeared as a dance musician, leading dance and song at many well-known traditional music and dance camps throughout the United States.

Andy’s songs are inspired by local stories, American history, dear friends, farmers, pub singers, dance callers, sailors on the high seas, political turmoil and environmental concerns. Anecdotes from his years of teaching music have found their way into these songs that reflect on life in New England – and beyond.
