Earlier this year, through a community choir mailing list I'm on, I received an invitation to take part in something quite special.
As part of the WWI commemorations a performance called "Refrain" has been composed for local male singers. It's already been performed at Richmond Castle and on Merseyside, and there is one more location at which I am taking part: Newhaven Fort in East Sussex, on 9-11 June.
It will be a very special experience to hear male voices in the echoy tunnels and rooms of Newhaven Fort. We have some quite intense rehearsals starting this weekend (3 and 4 June) and evenings next week before the first public performances on Friday 9 June. The songs are quite beautiful. For a very brief taste of what to expect, here's a link to a short video: https://vimeo.com/216835157
If you're in the area and would like to attend, tickets are available from http://refrain.online/
