We are all professional singers in our own right who love the opportunity to come together to explore harmonies created in these islands and from around the world.   The emphasis is on women's songs and those speaking for peace and social justice, both old and new.   We can ring the changes from one voice to five - some of our repertoire is acapella and some with instrumentation that includes guitar, saxophone, flute, accordion, whistle and drums.  This means we can create a performance of great richness and variety, exploring different genres and textures.  Our hope is to communicate power, tenderness and fun involving the audience both as listeners and sometime joiners-in.Telephone 01594 860075email gardencafe@btinternet.com20th September.
