Saturday 26 September 10:30am to 5:05pm Workshop 10:30am - 3:30pm Windborne concert 4:15 - 5:05pm Registration from 10:10am St Swithin's Church, The Paragon, Bath BA1 5LY We are thrilled to be hosting Windborne again in Bath following their hugely successful workshop and concerts in previous years. “The most exciting vocal group in a generation,” Windborne’s captivating show draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable. Windborne specialize in close harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between dramatically different styles of traditional music. Their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions. They will teach songs from their American roots, songs of protest and freedom from their albums To Warm the Winter Hearth, Song on the Times and folk songs from other cultures collected on their travels. The workshop is open to everyone and all the songs and harmonies will be taught by ear by Jeremy, Lynn, Will and Lauren. To round off the day in style, we will become the audience and Windborne will perform for us. Concert-only tickets also available. -
