Sunday 13 April - Sunday Song Exchange - 1.30 p.m. A voice-only singing circle for everyone who loves to sing for the fun of it. This isn’t a performance, but a space to share songs, connect, and enjoy the magic of voices coming together. In the first half, everyone has the opportunity to offer a song - any style or genre - and briefly share the story behind it or why you have chosen it. In the second half, we invite canons, rounds and songs to sing together. It’s all about sharing and learning in a relaxed, welcoming space. Come along ready to sing, listen with attentiveness and care, and enjoy the music and the company. Registration is free, with a suggested donation of €5 on the day (cash/Revolut). Please arrive on time, as latecomers cannot be admitted once we have started. Book a spot on Eventbrite.
