At Loughborough Community Centre, we have received the following details:
Please spread this far and wide.
Communities all over the world sing together - songs of greeting, songs of joy, songs of sorrow, songs to celebrate the seasons are all traditional ‘glue’ that helps binds cultures together. As part of this session’s activities, we’ll weave in a few uplifting songs from around the world and sing them together as a group. Shilpa Shah, trained in the Natural Voice method of song teaching, will lead us in some fun warm up exercises and simple songs which will be enjoyoable and accessible for everyone, whether you feel you’re a musical maestro or if you sing only in the shower.
After walking for around one hour (the route is wheelchair and pushchair accessible) we return to the community centre to sample some spring tonic soup. Please bring other food to share. There will also be a launch of the London Salad resource book and arts activities.
Also bring tupperwares or bags for collecting things in and a good idea from a participant … bring a soup bowl and a spoon of your own.
