Fifty-five singers gathered to sing in the exceptional cloisters and hillside garden at Iford Manor. All the songs and harmonies were taught by ear by Jane Harris, Director of Songways. Singers from Devon, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Hereford and Bristol joined many local singers from Bath and Bradford on Avon. The singing included beautiful rounds, lively harmony songs and moving vocal soundscapes.

Comments from singers:

“Absolutely stunning”
“Beautiful and moving”
“Wonderful choice of songs”
“Heaven on earth”

Iford is an “other-worldly” place with an exquisite garden nestled in a sheltered valley. We sang in several parts of the garden, including the Loggia, the Great Terrace, the Casita and the Italianate Cloisters. To sing at Iford is a particularly special way to enjoy all that it has to offer: to savour the sounds we create in different parts of the garden, listen to the bird song, relish the privilege of having the cloisters to ourselves, enjoy learning songs and harmonies together and feast our eyes on the wonderful vistas throughout the garden.
