The 2024 Lundy singing week was hugely enjoyed by 23 singers, led by Jane Harris – a week of singing, harmony, wild beauty, swimming, fun and friendship. Singers came from Somerset, Wiltshire, Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, Cambridge, Sussex, London… and Toronto! Jane taught a wide range of harmony songs reflecting the beauty of the natural world including several of her own songs written on Lundy. We sang in the newly restored church, in sheltered spots around the island including the natural amphitheatre of the VC Quarry, at the top of the Old Light with a 360 degree view of the island, and in the amazingly resonant stairwell of the Old Light tower. We gave a concert in the church which was thoroughly enjoyed by visitors. Several singers brought instruments and we enjoyed impromptu singing and tunes in the Marisco Tavern on several evenings.

Comments from the singers:

We stayed on the island in the excellent accommodation provided by the Landmark Trust, which has managed Lundy for over 50 years. We had several hearty group meals in the Marisco Tavern and enjoyed free time to walk, swim, relax and explore the extraordinary beauty of the island.

The next Songways Lundy singing week will be Saturday 27 June – 4 July 2026. Please join our mailing list to ensure you receive details.
