After a busy and enjoyable April singing at a variety of events and venues, our May into June sings and events continue. Thanks again to our singers and leads for their time, and to our hosts for giving us such great opportunities to 'sing out’. Over the recent Bank Holiday weekend a group of us sang at Oldland Mill's Open Day near Keymer on May 5th, and now we’re looking forward to the rest of the 2024 summer season. So here is what we're up to in May and June - with more to come after that!
On Saturday May 18th we’ll be having an extra SDFSingers open session, a social sing in the Downland air of Highdown Hill near Worthing - starting at around 11.00am. We’re hoping the sunshine and South Downs songs will combine well for an enjoyable time!
The Amberley Chalk Pits Museum is holding a "Nature Event” on Sunday June 2nd, and we will be supporting this by sharing our songs with visitors to this interesting event.
Then on Sunday June 16th we’ll be making a return visit to sing in the beautiful grounds of Parham House in celebration of "Sussex Day”; a splendid garden in which to also enjoy Father’s Day! We hope the weather will be as glorious as it was last year - but please, not quite so hot this time!
Thursday June 20th sees the SDFS Chichester local group session back at the "Three Moles” pub in Selham (where they used to meet for their regular sessions). This time it will be for a special Folk Evening as part of the Graffham Arts Festival. We’ll be singing a couple of sets and enjoying the other music on offer during the evening. (Please consult the pub or the Graffham Festival organisers for more details of this event.) We’ll be back at the "Chichester Inn", in Chichester, for the group’s July session as usual.
Sunday June 23rd is the last day of the 2024 Worthing Festival and we’ve offered to sing our songs in the town centre on this finale day. More details for this and our other summer events are expected soon, and they'll be noted on our Diary Dates page or as Latest News posts as soon as confirmed.
So take another look at our Blog soon - or email us sooner if you’d like to join us and become a "South Downs Folk Singer” yourself. Start by letting us know you’re interested and then come along to one or other, or even all three, of our monthly local group sessions - and if you’d like to, begin to learn our songs to sing with us at our public events in the future.
A warm welcome awaits and there will be more lovely events and songs to sing as the year progresses. Some details of our autumn into winter events are already on our Diary Dates page - so please take a look!
