About Watermill Scratch Choir - Sounds of the 60s

Join us for a day of singing your favourite songs from the 60s with like-minded people, including hits from The Beatles, Elvis & the Beach Boys.

Leading this fun and informal workshop is actor, composer and musical director, Simon Slater (Peter Pan & The Wind in the Willows). Our Scratch Choir is open to all budding singers, with no previous experience necessary! You’ll learn a selection of 60s classics with lyric sheets provided, so no need to worry about learning the words by heart.

The day will finish with a performance for friends and family at 5pm, in our gorgeous tithe barn!

Tea, coffee & biscuits will be provided throughout the day.
