Sally Davies folk singing workshop

Sally Davies is a singer, choir leader, composer and multi instrumentalist. She directed the Cecil Sharp House Choir in London for 11 years until 2019 which sang mostly her own arrangements of songs from the British Isles. Since 2001 she has been leading the Wing-It Singers in Hackney whose repertoire draws on other singing traditions as well, particularly those of Georgia, the Balkans, France and Spain. They perform regularly both in and out of London.

She leads workshops all over the country including running the Folk choir at the Dartington International Summer School for four years and at King’s Place during their Voices Unwrapped series. Her arrangements are sung by many choirs and smaller acapella groups and her book of folk song arrangement, Lovers, Legends and Laments has sold widely both in the UK and abroad.

With a professional background in theatre both as a versatile performer, instrumentalist and composer, Sally has undertaken numerous music projects for dance and theatre companies and her compositions have been performed in a wide variety of venues including Sadlers Wells, the Purcell Rooms, the New British Library and festivals in Edinburgh, Chard, Berlin and Tbilisi. Her most recent piece for the Wing-It Singers, Time’ is for voices and improvised piano and explores this crucial aspect of the climate emergency. It premiered in Summer ’22.

As a singer she has performed with many theatre companies and singing groups over the years and is currently performing with her daughters in the acapella trio Davies & Daughters. @daviesanddaughters
