Song swapping sessions for singing leaders

Singing leaders always need more songs to sing with their groups, and they also love an excuse to get together for a good sing, so CMV is hosting regular song-swapping sessions facilitated by volunteer singing leaders. Past themes have included "Pinko, Leftie, Greenie Songs"; "Love Songs" & "Brush Up Your Russian Repertoire" Song swap sessions generally happen on a monthly basis at CMV's office at Ross House in the city. If you are interested in either attending or facilitating a song swap contact us.

Having this info allows us to direct prospective new participants your way, promote your activities, keep you up-to-date with useful resources and contacts and demonstrate just how huge the community music making movement really is.
