Here we Come a-Carolling!
Joglaresa are back for Christmas and need YOU to come and sing along, raising the rafters with joyous medieval and traditional ‘caroles’! The audience are full-throatedly in the driving seat, provided with a beautifully illustrated booklet of lyrics & musical dots which encourages one and all to join in and celebrate the season singing along with the choruses of these ever-hummable festive favourites. Come straight to the concert and simply sing along with the festive classics or join Joglaresa for a short workshop beforehand to learn the nuts and bolts of a few numbers you didn’t know you always knew – mulled wine (and mince pies) included to warm up the vocal cords beautifully.
