What the Comfort Of Voices gathering offered attendees
- Lots of singing and songs threaded through each session.
- Conversations designed to develop resilience and sustainability, framed around three key questions: What do I need as a song leader? What do my groups need? How can we respond?
- Time for response and discussion as part of each session.
- Opportunities to meet other song and choir leaders from across Scotland, sharing skills, experiences, and approaches.
- A Wee Ceilidh singaround and a dancing Ceilidh.
Our weekend was observed and evaluated by our ‘Listening Ear’ & facilitator Cathy Phillips Brady. Cathy was listening to and collating attendees thoughts throughout the sessions to help us to build a clearer picture of what we might be able to achieve as a connected network of song leaders, and what external support we would benefit from.
