A event on Friday 13th September. The event starts at 19:00.
Please join us for the 27th UK Sacred Harp Convention in Bristol!
Sacred Harp singing is an unbroken 175-year-old tradition of powerful a capella music from the USA. The Convention is the biggest event of the year as a chance for people from around the country (and the world!) to join together in (extremely loud) song. Everyone is welcome to watch, listen and sing – no experience necessary!
On Friday evening we will be hosting a singing school lead by Thom Fahrbach of Portland focusing on the community and culture surrounding Sacred Harp, ahead of full days of singing on Saturday and Sunday. The singing school is held at the Central Bristol Quaker Meeting House (near Cabot Circus).
If you've never tried Sacred Harp before we're holding additional singing schools on the 3rd and 10th September at Faithspace 7-9pm so that people can learn the basics ahead of the convention.
Covid policy: All attendees must take a Covid lateral flow test before they arrive each day, and bring a picture of the negative test (or the test itself); for detailed Covid policy: http://www.ukshc.org/

Any questions? Please email co-chairs Kate Kirwan and Sam Cole at [email protected]
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
