WHAT TO EXPECT
An afternoon of heart-opening harmony singing in the gorgeous Brighton Unitarian Church (and optionally on the steps outside too!). Free from judgement & perfectionism, these circles are open to all and offer an opportunity to simply bask in the joys of communal singing in the here and now. Nervous & self-critical singers are especially welcome and no preparation is required, just turn up (all songs will be taught on the night through call & response).
WHAT WILL WE SING?
We'll warm up with some improvised circlesinging led by our experienced facilitator George Montagu before exploring a journey of short prepared harmony songs designed to get us out of our heads and into our hearts.
[OPTIONAL FRINGE FUN!]
As an optional extra, we’ll be gathering a little earlier than usual (1:30pm) to learn a short song together (probably 'We Are Worthy' from the first workshop) in the church , then take it out onto the front steps - sharing some joyful harmonies with the bustling Fringe crowd before the main event begins.
Should be a bit of a spectacle, so do join us if you can :)
Note: this will be filmed and may be used on social media, so please only join if you’re happy to be featured.

"You can't help but be swept along by George's infectious enthusiasm and musical joy which really helped me to fully relax and sing my heart out. Loved it"
Michael (attendee)
"I don't consider myself a singer at all and have always felt intimidated by it, but George deftly and skillfully guided us to connect with our voices, and by the end I was joyfully belting out notes in glorious harmony!"
Matt (attendee)
“George is a soulful, generous and joyful burst of sunlight, brimming with musical creativity and infectious enthusiasm. The very embodiment of a pleasure to work with.”
Philip Read (choir leader)
