SING WITH MADDY PRIOR & THE CARNIVAL BAND

The Carnival Choirs are back! Once again we invite you to take part in a workshop, help yourself to our on-line materials and sing in concert with Maddy and the Carnival Band in a top-class venue with full PA and an adoring audience as part of our Carols and Capers tour.

This year we have 2 exclusive venues: Cadogan Hall in London, and Birmingham Town Hall.

This will be the last time that Maddy and The Carnival Band embark on a Carols and Capers tour, and it is also the 40th anniversary of their collaboration. Don’t miss this very special occasion!

CAROLS FROM STONES BARN
21 December 2020

Available to view until 6 Jan

A sequence of songs for the Winter Solstice and the Christmas Season filmed on location in Cumbria. A unique mix of medieval lyrics, English and European folk carols, contemporary comedy and reflections on the season of goodwill, delivered in rich vocal harmony to the accompaniment of ancient and modern sounds. This Yuletide cocktail is guaranteed to be an evening of consummate musicianship laced with good humour, and will charm even the most Scrooge-like heart.

After the performance has streamed (estimated duration 1 hour) we invite you to 'come backstage' and meet Maddy and members of the band on Zoom, for lively chat, and the answers to your questions about a partnership which has been delighting audiences worldwide for over 30 years.
