Songways performed a wonderful set of festive and celebratory songs in the beautiful setting of St Luke’s Church directed by Jane Harris and joined by special guests Confluence folk duo – accordion and cello.
The programme included songs from England, Scotland, Croatia, America and South Africa, the exquisite Lost Words Blessing choral arrangement and an original song by Jane Harris – Bring in the holly.

About Songways
Songways choirs meet on Wednesday evenings in St Swithin’s Church, Bath and Friday mornings in Holy Trinity, Bradford on Avon. There are no auditions and there is no need to read music – Jane teaches all the songs and harmonies by ear.
We relish the energy, vibrancy and variety of the songs we sing in Songways and are excited by the way singing in harmony can take us into different sound worlds. Jane plays the violin and we love to collaborate with other instrumental musicians for some of our songs – including guitar and bouzouki. Singing with Songways is also a chance to develop your voice, increasing range and resonance, and exploring new singing styles.
