Since 2008 we have been coming together to learn sea-shanties, murder ballads, protest songs, work songs, love melodies, folkified non-folk songs, and good old knees-up tunes, from all across the centuries and from all over the world. We learn tunes and harmonies by ear (ability to read music is not required). Our repertoire reflects the inclusive, internationalist, outward-looking nature of folk music: treasuring songs which have their roots in the tradition of local and national communities but which belong to anyone and everyone, embracing songs from one another's traditions, and understanding that anything that has roots is living, growing and changing. Our thirty members, from all over London and from all kinds of backgrounds (all are welcome), are led by choir director Michelle Woolfenden, and range from seasoned singers to those who hadn't sung since school.
Choirslist London lists choirs across its 33 boroughs.
