New singing weekends with Chris Rowbury
Listed on June 25, 2013 in SingingI thought you might be interested in a brand spanking new gospel singing weekend
that I’ll be running in Derbyshire this November. I’ve also been invited back to the
recently refurbished YHA near Stratford-upon-Avon in October to run a world
music weekend.
I’ve also started to upload videos of concerts and Singing Safari projects to
my YouTube channel which you might like to check out.
And if you missed my recent twice-yearly newsletter which I sent out in January
(those pesky junk mail checkers might have swiped it!), you can now read it
at your leisure on my website.
I’m sending this update in plain text to see if more of them get through. Apparently less
than 50% of my newsletters reached you last time! Check your junk folder and/ or whitelist
my email address: chris@chrisrowbury.com if you’re missing stuff.
More details of workshops and other news below.

Roll on springtime!!
