 Revision of core songs

Core songs: See end of table  these are old songs from our repertoire about a range of issues (union, environment, rights, peace, etc) that we should be able to sing without relearning them every time.   Please do some homework on these when they are coming up for revision on the schedule.

8th March (a Tuesday) The invitation is to sing at the opening of our main event on Tuesday 8th March at Oxford Town Hall. The event itself is a panel debate/discussion on the (very!) broad theme of 'Women, Austerity, Creativity, Challenge & Transgression' - speakers (TBC) - but will hopefully include a heady mix of politicians, writers & activists, including the anti-poverty campaigner, Jack Monroe. We would love people to arrive to your wonderful singing, if possible (think 6:30pm for a 7 o'clock start).

About 40 or so street choirs from all corners of the country will be coming to Leicester for a weekend of singing. It will run from Friday 24th until Sunday 26th June and will be based at Curve theatre.
There will be a range of public events and activities taking place in particular:
The Massed Sing in Jubilee Square (12 noon Saturday 25th June) when all the choirs, about 800 people, will gather in Jubilee Square to sing a short selection of songs in four-part harmony – a tribute to the power and emotion of the human voice!
Busking at around 15 busking sites around Leicester city centre (1 pm until 4.30 pm Saturday 25th June) when choirs will circulate around the city singing their own repertoire of songs for about 20 minutes at a time

Peace and Sanctuary: Sunday afternoon, 3rd July, 'something between between 3 and 6ish'.
Where:
St Ethelwold's in Abingdon
Sunday afternoon, 3rd July, 'something between between 3 and 6ish'.
In the garden -with other events.
Open to general public.
Choice of one set or 2 shorter sets.

The trustees of St Ethelwold's in Abingdon are asking if we would sing at their annual celebration which will be on the theme of 'Peace and Sanctuary' on Sun 3rd July.

They have been keen to invite us since seeing us at the Global Divestment Day in Oxford, and have even changed the date of the event so as not to clash with the weekend we shall be at the Streetchoirs Festival!

St Ethelwold's House is a centre left in trust for community use, with links to groups such as the Abingdon Peace Group and the local ecology group Carbon Cutters, for example, hosts the local inter-faith BBQ, and it has just set up a Host Abingdon scheme to welcome refugees.
They would like us to sing on Sunday afternoon, 3rd July, 'something between between 3 and 6ish', in one long or two shorter bursts as we prefer; to sing songs of peace, including radical anti-war songs, and the refugee-themed ones would be very appropriate.
The summer celebration days are open to the general public and I imagine the gig would be in the lovely garden, weather permitting, rather like at Emma' s wedding.
