Join us in Brighton to sing some gorgeous feel-good songs in glorious harmony. Taught by call & response and accessible to all! Stay up-to-date by joining the WhatApp community here WHAT TO EXPECT An afternoon of heart-opening harmony singing in the gorgeous Brighton Unitarian Church. 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). We might even take a song out to the public if we're feeling energised! WHAT WILL WE SING? We'll warm up with some improvised circlesinging led by our experienced facilitator George Montagu before exploring a number of short prepared harmony songs varying in genre from choruses of pop songs to heart-opening medicine songs.

"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) MEDIA CONSENT We love sharing the energy of our events with those who can't be there in person, so you might see photographers, videographers or static cameras capturing the moment.
