Singing for Pleasure
A wonderful combination of voices, music and beautiful countryside 5 nights.
OverviewIf you like to sing and have fun, then these holidays are not to be missed. Come and join us and relax in the company of old and new friends and beautiful surroundings. Whatever your musical ability you will enjoy these Singing for Pleasure holidays under the superb direction of experienced musical directors. We feature both accompanied short breaks and ’a cappella’ departures. In both programmes, we’ll join together to sing each morning and evening.
Accompanied singing under the musical direction of Penny Lazenby.
Our original Singing for Pleasure programme!
For our 2012 season, Penny Lazenby, former Director of Music at Watford Grammar School, once again takes the baton as musical director. With a wide variety of good music available we’ll journey through a musical extravaganza including songs from the shows, oratorios, light opera and of course some of the great composers. Although not essential, being able to sight-read music would be an advantage. Both our 2012 holidays are based in Matlock Bath in the Peak District.

Unaccompanied a cappella singing under the direction of Candy Verney
Candy has founded five community choirs in Bath and West Wiltshire and now runs singing workshops around UK and in Europe. She has a reputation for getting everyone singing, for creating a rich musical experience with mixed ability groups. With an emphasis on singing for the sheer joy and fun of it, you will also be amazed at the quality of the sound we make together, as we travel through a range of musical cultures: World music, traditional folk, gospel and some contemporary songs. You don’t need to read music, we will learn by ear. These holidays are based at Llandrindod Wells in the Welsh hills or at Hassness Country House in the Lake District.

Hello – I am Misty the Westie and I work for Ramblers Countrywide Holidays in the Leader’s Department. It’s my job to sniff out new hotels and walks and report back to HQ. It’s a dog’s life, I know, but someone’s got to do it!
