We have such a great day with Lester in March that we invited him back to the Fusilier's Museum. The workshop was seasonally focussed and along with our "pie and peas" lunch we learned some magical songs including a new tune (to us) for “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and the “Christmas Truce Song” written by Lester’s colleague, Jim Boyes. You can hear some of Coope, Boyes & Simpson's material on line here Saturday 22nd March 2014
We had a really lovely workshop led by Lester Simpson. Lester is part of Coope Boyes and Simpson - a vocal folk trio, formed around 1990. Their sound is rich and often has unusual vocal harmonies. More info from their website click here |
