Saltlines - The Gigspanner Big Band & Raynor Winn
An inspiring and compelling collaboration between bestselling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) and folk-roots supergroup The Gigspanner Big Band, which features some of the biggest names on the folk scene.
Together they will celebrate the beauty, stories and traditions of the South West Coast Path in old songs with their origins in the South-West, and new words… words which have been written by Raynor especially for this production.
Beginning life as a trio formed by legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin - BBC Folk Awards Best Duo) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray.
'What a fabulous team they make, together producing a startlingly new musical form with few, if any, antecedents. The flights of musical fancy are staggering in their natural invention' Fatea Magazine

Norden Farm Summer Choir
Led by Tabitha Beavan
Soulful Summer Singing Sessions at the Farm.
Join us for for a cappella summer sing-songs on the Farm. Led by Tabitha and inspired by the Pitch Perfect movies, you’ll experience how good it feels to use the voice you’ve got and create goose bumpy harmonies with others. We’ll also explore rhythms and body beats to really feel the groove. A totally inclusive choir, open to all who want to give a bit of ‘a cappella’ singing a go.
In each session you’ll learn two songs; a short warm up song and a well-known feelgood summery song – for example Surfin’ USA, Happy or Dance with Me Tonight. You can either attend individual sessions or come to the full series. Why not plan to arrive early to have a drink on the Norden Farm beach!
Tabitha Beaven founded the Maidenhead Tuneless Choir in 2016 and performs with Funkin’ Souled Out; a local funk, soul and disco function band. Her style is upbeat, full of energy and she is passionate about the power of singing for all.
Tues 19 Jul - 16 Aug
7.30pm - 9pm
£45 for the 5 week course or £10 per session
