Forged from the voices of Hannah James (Kerfuffle, duo with Sam Sweeney), Hazel Askew (The Askew Sisters, The Artisans) and Rowan Rheingans (Fidola), Lady Maisery explore vocal harmony to breathtaking effect, through their fresh interpretations of songs and ballads.
The workshop will cover warming up, tune singing (diddling) arrangement and harmony techniques and using the voice as an instrument.
Please note - the content of the workshop may change somewhat depending on the participants and how things are going. We like to be flexible and make sure everyone benefits as much as possible from the day!
