Saturday May 26th 2012 - Eastcott Barn, Sheldon, Devon.
This is a one-day workshop from 10am to 5pm, cost £75, venue - Eastcott Barn, Sheldon, near Honiton, East Devon.

It is suitable for all - whether seasoned chanters or novices, as the day will be structured to suit the group.

The aim is that everyone will be able to accompany themselves on the harmonium in at least one simple chant by the end of the day.
