8th March (a Tuesday) The invitation is to sing at the opening
of our main event on Tuesday 8th March at Oxford Town Hall. The
event itself is a panel debate/discussion on the (very!) broad
theme of 'Women, Austerity, Creativity, Challenge & Transgression'
- speakers (TBC) - but will hopefully include a heady mix of politicians,
writers & activists, including the anti-poverty campaigner,
Jack Monroe. We would love people to arrive to your wonderful
singing, if possible (think 6:30pm for a 7 o'clock start). |

About 40 or so street choirs from all corners
of the country will be coming to Leicester for a weekend of singing.
It will run from Friday 24th until Sunday 26th June and will be
based at Curve theatre.
There will be a range of public events and activities taking place
in particular:
The Massed Sing in Jubilee Square (12 noon Saturday 25th June)
when all the choirs, about 800 people, will gather in Jubilee
Square to sing a short selection of songs in four-part harmony
– a tribute to the power and emotion of the human voice!
Busking at around 15 busking sites around Leicester city centre
(1 pm until 4.30 pm Saturday 25th June) when choirs will circulate
around the city singing their own repertoire of songs for about
20 minutes at a time |

Peace and Sanctuary: Sunday
afternoon, 3rd July, 'something between between 3 and 6ish'.
Where:
St Ethelwold's in Abingdon
Sunday afternoon, 3rd July, 'something between between 3 and 6ish'.
In the garden -with other events.
Open to general public.
Choice of one set or 2 shorter sets.
The trustees of St Ethelwold's in Abingdon are asking if we would
sing at their annual celebration which will be on the theme of
'Peace and Sanctuary' on Sun 3rd July.
They have been keen to invite us since seeing us at the Global
Divestment Day in Oxford, and have even changed the date of the
event so as not to clash with the weekend we shall be at the Streetchoirs
Festival!
St Ethelwold's House is a centre left in trust for community
use, with links to groups such as the Abingdon Peace Group and
the local ecology group Carbon Cutters, for example, hosts the
local inter-faith BBQ, and it has just set up a Host Abingdon
scheme to welcome refugees.
They would like us to sing on Sunday afternoon, 3rd July, 'something
between between 3 and 6ish', in one long or two shorter bursts
as we prefer; to sing songs of peace, including radical anti-war
songs, and the refugee-themed ones would be very appropriate.
The summer celebration days are open to the general public and
I imagine the gig would be in the lovely garden, weather permitting,
rather like at Emma' s wedding.
