It is a privilege to welcome
Cath & Phil Tyler back to Holy Biscuit as we host a Sacred Harp
Singing Workshop in the Vestry. Sacred Harp Singing is a very special type of
acapella, polyphonic, communal singing which is rooted in the rich cultural
traditions of the Southern United States.
Having been described as
"Loud, unrestrained and almost raucous" it is accessible for
anyone, from those who have been trained classically and need to be 'liberated'
(!) to those of you who are convinced you are tone deaf. (Phil Tyler himself
was in that boat before Cath introduced him - and he clearly hasn't looked
back!)
Sacred Harp also has a rich tradition of
community and friendship at its heart, and I have it on good authority that
most of these workshops end with a trip to the pub and for a continuation of
the jollity.
So, come down for 2pm on Saturday 29th
September - entry is free and refreshments are provided. It looks to be a great
afternoon!
