Bristol 

After a really successful 2024 Saturday Sings series, I’ve decided to do it all again, and I’ve got some fantastic guests lined up for 2025!
Saturday Sings is a singing workshop series where I invite a different choir composer each time and we share a day of teaching our own original harmony songs. Who knows, you could be the first group of singers to ever sing this material! Most songs are in 4 part harmony (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass). 
All are welcome. We are Natural Voice Network leaders and all songs will taught by ear so there is no need to read music.
🎶 WHERE? Victoria Park Baptist Church, Sylvia Ave, Bristol BS3 5DA*
🎶 WHAT TIME? 1030-430pm (Doors 10am, arrive by 1015am). 
🎶 PRICE? £40 standard rate, plus booking fee (Low Income/Higher Earner/Super Supporter options available)**
*Drivers - This venue isn't in the Bristol Clean Air Zone, but do check your route if you're trying to avoid it. You can check if your car is exempt here.
There is free on street parking on all the surrounding streets.
**Please note, unlike last year, the workshops won’t be catered (it's logistically quite challenging, sorry!), but we'll still have teas and coffees in the breaks. Lunch break will be  an hour, and you can bring your own packed lunch to eat at the church or in Victoria Park across the road. There is a bakery across the road, and there are other food options within 10/15 mins walk of the church.

29th March 2025 - Lea Morris & Rosie Sleightholme
My second guest of the year is the fantastic Lea Morris, whose songs I just love to sing, and I know you will too! Lea is an amazing SoulFunk singer songwriter and a brilliant choir composer and workshop leader.
About Lea:
Lea Morris composes and shares songs inspired by her upbringing in the US southern Baptist gospel tradition - but with messages that are secular and universally uplifting. 
Lea was born in Washington DC to a father who played trumpet in the funk band Black Heat. Her mother dreamed of opera and brought Lea up in the Baptist church. In high school, she taught herself to play the acoustic guitar by writing songs. Then, she spent an exchange year in Germany where she was exposed to classic, jazz and pop.
Lea’s sound often draws comparisons to Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell. It’s no wonder, with her warm vocals, insightful lyrics and familiar melodies. However, as Lea’s compositions expand to include looped harmonies, vocal percussion and other elements, it’s clear that her SoulFolk style is unique.  
Lea’s voice and musicianship are often heard on recordings by Stockfisch Records for whom she frequently provides backing vocals. In fact, she has been nominated for and won several awards, including, Best Vocalist, Best Recording, and Songwriter of the Year. Having shared the stage with luminaries including Odetta and Mavis Staples, Lea is also returning to her roots by composing multi-layered chants and grounding a community singing experience in Braunschweig, Germany, where she currently resides.

Payment options:
I want Saturday Sings to be accessible whilst also paying myself and my composer guest a fair wage (fees go towards our prep time, composing time, travel, as well as the workshop itself). For this reason I've offered 4 payment options:
General - £40
Low Income - £35
Higher Earner - £45
Super Supporter - £50
If you can afford to pay a bit more, your extra payment is much appreciated and helps to offset Low Income payments.
Please have a read of the Fees table on my People of Note website to decide which of the categories you best fit, and you can decide which rate to pay, no questions asked. I've added the Super Supporter rate this year as some people have said to me that they would like to pay more, which is very kind indeed, thank you.
If you will still struggle to pay the Low Income option, please contact me directly and we will work something out. I don't want anyone to be excluded because they are limited by finances. We have the Higher Earner and Super Supporter rates to help with this.
Please note that the ticketing platform I use now adds a 5% fee on to your booking.
Please see the event FAQs for what else your fee includes.
