Many well-known folk groups sing in unaccompanied harmony and draw on a repertoire of traditional songs from across the British Isles – Waterson:Carthy, The Copper Family, Coope Boyes and Simpson, The Poozies, The Voice Squadto name but a few. This is your chance to enjoy singing traditional British folk songs arranged especially for voices only. Not an instrument or backing track in sight!
We will sing a variety of traditional folk songs from the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) arranged in 3- and 4-part harmony: rousing drinking songs, yearning love songs, robust sea shanties, spooky ballads, songs of the countryside – something for everyone!
Alison House is a Georgian style House built by the Arkwright Family and set in the Derwent Valley world Heritage site. Set in seven acres of grounds with beautiful gardens in a peaceful setting, yet only a short walk from Cromford and the cable cars and attractions of Matlock Bath.
All 15 rooms at Alison House are en-suite and are situated in either the main house or in the cottage which is just across the courtyard. Each room is tastefully decorated and serviced to the highest standard.
It is possible to book three Deluxe rooms which are spacious and have wonderful views over the Derbyshire countryside.
You don't have to be a 'folkie' to enjoy singing traditional songs in wonderful 3- and 4-part harmony! Whether you only sing in the bath, or are in a choir, this weekend will use songs from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to create gorgeous group harmonies to die for. No experience necessary, all songs taught by ear. A relaxed, informal, rewarding weekend of singing with like-minded souls, liberally laced with humour!
