Iona-style Big Sing

led by Margaret McLarty and Jane Bentley

Saturday 7 November 2015

2-4.30pm

Margaret and Jane have both worked with the Iona Community in Iona Abbey and in Glasgow helping hundreds of people to discover their voices and sing songs of praise, protest and prayer.

At the Big Sing we’ll learn new songs (including some you may not know from Singing the Faith) from Iona and around the world, and enjoy the amazing sound of our voices singing in harmony. You’re very welcome to come whatever your age, and whether or not you’re able to read music or consider yourself a good singer.

Tea and cake will be provided. Please contact Hilary Blake on 01904 413890 if you can offer some baking or help with refreshments.

Donations will be taken to cover the costs of the event; we suggest £5 per person.

For more information and for a poster to display in your church, please contact Hilary Blake (01904 413890, hilaryblake81@gmail.com). If you’re on facebook you can find the event at https://www.facebook.com/events/1068728829804841/
