The Hermon welcomes back Kate Allan for more monthly singing sessions, offering the chance to share your singing voice with others to make music together.
FOR BEGINNERS heres an opportunity to find your singing voice (yes, its there!) in a supportive group!
You might be a CONFIDENT SINGER who wants to get away from the written page and see what comes from the group in the moment.
And for SONGWRITERS or anyone who would like to start making songs, this is a great way to open yourself up to fresh ideas and break the mould.
IN A CIRCLE, starting with gentle body and vocal warm-ups, we take any note, sing it together and then invite some of the group to add another note until weve built a chord, listening carefully to ourselves and each other.
THEN WE CAN
create and develop a rhythm
explore the different sounds we can make with our voices
vary the pitch (high, low), the sound, the speed and the volume
add some body percussion eg clapping, foot tapping
come up with new ideas as a group as we go
build confidence in and awareness of our own and other peoples voices
All this happens and develops very instinctively as our intuition, creativity and innate musicality come to life.
If youve never heard yourself SING FREELY, this is the chance to find that freedom in a judgement-free, natural way.
The sessions are facilitated by Kate Allan, an experienced freelance singer, songwriter and singing for health practitioner whose clients include the NHS, Severn Hospice and other health care providers.

In association with Pale Fire Music we are proud to announce Kornastone playing live at The Wakes
Kornastone are Wolverhampton and Shropshire
based musicians Dave Lawrence, Jamie Davey,
Martin Ratcliffe, Keith Allen and Stuart Ward.
They draw on classic folk, Country, Trad Rock and
Americana influences, and produce beautiful
songwritin
After leaving school in the late 1970’s, Dave and Jamie formed a band and started writing original songs. A few live shows were performed and the band generated interest from EMI Records following demo recordings being made at Zella Studio Edgbaston. However, due to changes in the band’s circumstances the decision was made to put things on the back burner for a little while.
Dave and Jamie continued writing songs and performed as a duo, often joining other artists on tour such as Raymond Froggatt. Jamie also became friends with the legendary songwriter Clifford T. Ward and performed many shows and wrote songs with him,
Dave continued songwriting too and attained several awards for his songs. Despite their individual ventures, the duo continued to write and record songs together over a 30 year period.
In January 2018, the duo were asked to record some of their songs with top producer Gavin Monaghan.
Please note this event sold out quickly when last at The Wakes

A masterpiece of the romantic era that showed Verdi as a true compositional craftsman, the requiem was not written with Verdi’s dying breaths but 27 years before he died. Originally planned to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Rossini’s birth in 1869 the Requiem finally took to the stage in Milan in 1874.
Our soloists for the concert are Ellie Parsons (soprano), Ruth Theobald (mezzo soprano), Robert Tilson (tenor), Themba Mvula (bass) together with the combined choruses of the Wrekin College Chapel Choir and Wrekin College Community Choir
