Having discovered Brendan Taaffe‘s compositions through his vocal group Bright Wings Chorus, we were thrilled that he came to Bath on both his 2013 and 2014 UK tours.
Sixty singers gathered each time in the spacious St Luke’s Church, Bath, for memorable days of heart-felt singing. Brendan taught a rich variety of songs, all rewarding to learn: early gospel quartet numbers, a lively Polynesian song, rhythmically fascinating makwayera songs from Zimbabwe, and his own compositions – Superior, a glorious shape note hymn and the hauntingly beautiful, The Wheel.
Hear the Bright Wings Chorus sing Better Day A-Comin’ and To the Hills.
