The idea is that we go on an imginary Singing Safari collecting exotic Songs from around the world. The Singing Safari began at the Warwick Folk Festival in 2006, and continued in 2011 when Chris moved to Suffolk. The winter safari ends in a shared concert in Ipswich, and the summer safari is a free half hour performance outdoors. Each safari learns about eight Songs in 3- and 4-part harmony.  less

The Singing Safari has been on the road for five weeks now collecting exotic Songs from all over the world. Just 6 days to go before we arrive at Holywells Park in Ipswich to perform the Songs we've gathered. Tired, dusty and a few less people in o...

We sing a varied mix of music from traditional ballads and Songs from the West End shows, to popular numbers. We welcome new adult members with or without prior choral experience. You do need some musical ability, but it's not essential to read music. Rehearsals are in Wembdon, near Bridgwater, on a Tuesday evening.
