You are invited to join the

" PETERHOUSE SINGING SESSIONS "

which are held in the Peterhouse Music Room

every Thursday evening during term time

from 6.30 to 8.30pm

 

An informal group of singers. We meet every Thursday evening during termtime in the Peterhouse Music Room (ask for directions at the Porters' Lodge).

Starting time – 6.30pm. All welcome.

Unaccompanied singing. Folk song, protest songs, world-music songs, even an unorthodox carol or two at Christmas time.

You bring a song, we'll sing it! You don't have to be a brilliant singer to join us. And you don’t need to be able to read music.

Current songs that we're working on include "The Manchester Rambler", "Success to the Farmer", the Chartist song "We are So Low". and some of the songs from the show “Oh What a Lovely War!”.
