In true fringe style, a power cut on the first day saw a change of venue, but I was back in the town hall by day 2, and enjoyed performing to new audiences. It was a new experience, accompanying myself for a full show, and incorporating looping into several of the songs &#8211; I also included one of my own compositions. You can hear that in the link above, and below you&#8217;ll find some highlights of the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Songbirds at Durham Fringe Festival- clips and audience feedback\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jM_6TnbtOqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">highlights of Songbirds at Durham Fringe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEPTEMBER LARKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September has come and gone in a flash. Back on September 2nd, York Military Wives Choir joined nearly 200 singing sisters from other Military Wives Choirs to perform in a 10th Anniversary concert at Lincoln Cathedral. It was a great experience to conduct the massed choirs for one song, &#8220;Viva La Vida\/Titanium&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jessaliversidge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mwc-at-lincoln.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-564\" width=\"415\" height=\"276\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My Singing For All groups started with a performance the very first week of term, helped out by some Community Singers.&#8221;A Night to Remember&#8221; at York Barbican will always be remembered for many reasons &#8211; as just as I was rehearsing my mixed group of singers outside, we heard the news of the Queen&#8217;s death. The group valiantly carried on, and performed brilliantly in front of a large, enthusiastic crowd. I was so proud of everyone and was quite emotional afterwards. Here we are &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#SongForTheQueen Singing For All and friends - You&#039;ve got a friend\/Lean on me @MDBrunch\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KstV87e1qGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Singing For All and friends at York Barbican<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SINGING &#8230;WITH BIRDS OR BRASS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September has also been full of performance opportunities. Each Saturday, I continue to sing outside for my weekly #fieldsing (131 consecutive weeks so far!). On Saturday 24th, I had fieldsing, followed by a chilly busking slot in Easingwold marketplace as part of the Easingwold Summer of Music, then finally a performance as soloist with the amazing Shepherd Group Brass Band in their prom concert at The Galtres Centre. It has been 3 years since the last chance to sing with these wonderful musicians and friends, so it really was a special night. I absolutely loved singing some James Bond themes with them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/jessaliversidge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/skyfall-sheps.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Skyfall with Shepherd Group Brass Band<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SOME ENCHANTED SONDHEIM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past week, my focus has been on Some Enchanted Sondheim. Malcolm and I absolutely love working on this show! First devised in 2013, it has been slightly adapted several times since, and for this year&#8217;s version we have added 3 new Sondheim songs, one of which I literally discovered only a few weeks ago! Last Saturday we played to a lovely, receptive audience at Helmsley Arts Centre and this Sunday we are headed to Theatre@41 Monkgate, York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where next for Songbirds and Sondheim? I have a few ideas and dreams&#8230;..time will tell if and when these turn into reality at any point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next few months hold more performances, many singing lessons, copious choirs&#8230;..lots of singing larks of different varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do keep an eye on my social media for updates &#8211; especially if you&#8217;d like to sing with me, or catch a performance soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep singing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessa x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have just noticed that I haven&#8217;t posted on here since June&#8230;and it is now October&#8230;.so it must be time for an update on all things singing, looking back at the last few months and forward to what&#8217;s coming up.
