WATER IS LIFE – SONGS FOR THE EARTH

More than fifty singers performed in a special Songways concert at the Wild Waters Festival, a celebration of nature and community in Holy Trinity Church, Bradford on Avon. 

Songs to celebrate the earth, water and life, with beautiful melodies and rich harmonies.

“We’re passionate about the music we sing and we’d love to share it with you… harmonies that lift us up, powerful songs that draw us together and go straight to the heart, and songs that create a sense of stillness and peace.”

Many thanks to our warm and appreciative audience. We collected £270.61 for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust.

The Wild Waters Festival is a series of events organised by local councils and nature groups from Saturday 31 May to Sunday 15 June.

It celebrates the river while also highlighting the challenges it faces from factors such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Communities along the river, from Bradford on Avon to Batheaston, host a variety of events throughout the valley — so there’s plenty to get involved in.

About Songways 

Songways choirs meet on Wednesday evenings in St Swithin’s Church, Bath and Friday mornings in Holy Trinity, Bradford on Avon. All are welcome 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. Singing with Songways is also a chance to develop your voice, increasing range and resonance, and exploring new singing styles.”
