Saturday Sings - Emily Roblyn & Rosie Sleightholme

Description

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.

13th September 2025 - Emily Roblyn & Rosie Sleightholme

I'm so pleased Emily Roblyn is joining me in September 2025, after I had to cancel our Saturday Sings workshop in July 2024 as I was ill. Emily is a brilliant writer and leader and I love every song of hers, as do my choirs!

About Emily:

Emily Roblyn is a Canadian born singer and voice teacher based in Devon. She is deeply committed to supporting others to explore and love their own voices, and has been writing songs and running choirs and retreats in the UK for over 20 years.

Her warmth, enthusiasm and heart connection shines through in all her teaching, and her beautiful, original, harmony songs are favourites in choirs across the UK. If you're in a community choir, you may have sung her wonderful songs Fire In My Heart, Grace (Move in Me) and Earth's Child.

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:

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.
