Every year we run a few full-day Saturday singing workshops. Over the past few years we’ve had a tremendous selection of tutors for these workshops including Alison Burns, Karine Polwart, Emily Smith, Janice Clark, Yvonne Burgess, Sarah Harrop, Corinna Hewat, Gordeanna McCulloch, Maureen Jelks, Chris Miles, Aileen Carr, Alison MacMorland, Geordie McIntyre and Rod Patterson. Each workshop lasts from about 10am until 4.30pm (usually allowing plenty time for a bar lunch in the middle!) and is open to anyone interested in singing. You don’t have to be a great singer, you just need to want to sing; young or old, talented or otherwise. The focus of each workshop is to have fun and learn new material in an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.

We also periodically run one weekend singing gathering at Caputh Hostel in Perthshire each year. This is a chance to come along to an afternoon singing workshop in the lovely village of Caputh, followed by a shared supper and a session in front of the open fire in the hostel’s cosy lounge. For those who don’t want to miss the late night songs and wish to stay overnight, beds are available and can be booked in advance.
