Harmony singing day London
A fun-filled day of harmony singing taught in Chris's unique style: lashings of humour, oodles of fun and a firm, but gentle hand on the steering wheel.
New venue near King's Cross.
BOOKING OPENS MARCH 2024
Song recordings
Many of the songs that Chris teaches have been recorded by the choirs that he's led over the years.
"Thanks for sending the recordings. We weren't bad were we?! It was the first time I'd been on a full day of this kind, and it was great, just the right balance of humour and strictness!"
Recordings from past workshops
I have gathered in one place all the recordings I've made over the years at the end of my singing workshops. You can now find specific workshops by date/ place and listen to (and download) the songs recorded. I also plan to make a list of the best recordings of each individual song I've taught, so you can search by name.
Song recordings by workshop place and date
The workshops are ordered here in reverse chronological order, then in alphabetical order of the location they took place in. Click on any underlined link and you'll be taken to the Box website. There you'll find MP3s of the songs from each workshop saved in separate folders. You can listen to them there or download them.
