Cor I Pawb (Singing for Everyone)

I had been looking forward to a day of singing, and I wasn't disappointed. We all arrived for 10am with six hours of vocal harmonies ahead of us. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day's event. The sounds of about 80 voices singing in harmony was just glorious.

The day was organised by the Cheerful Project, part of the Span Arts in Narberth. The teachers were Maya, Rowan, Henry, Molara and Cat. They were all fantastic teachers and I wish that I could go to their regular group workshops. Unfortunately my work commitments don't allow me to do this as the times of the workshops clash. Shame. Still I'm looking forward to more weekend workshop events that I could go along too. They announced that there would be one in the new year.

The day was filled with different songs from different countries, and they were all fabulous songs and harmonies. Our voices together making such beautiful sounds, they made me feel quite emotional.

I only shot one image on my camera as I was then told that some of the people in the group had requested that they did not want their picture taken, so rather than upset anyone, I put my camera away. The one shot I did take was to see if I had the lighting right and this is it below. 



But actually I didn't mind because I was caught up in the actual singing and it was so nice to focus entirely on that.
At the end of the day we recorded two of the songs and were told that we would each receive an email with recordings of two of the songs so that we could listen to the whole group. I'm really looking forward to receiving that email.
