Brendan is based in Vermont and focuses on traditional American harmony music; bluegrass, gospel, shape note, and Appalachian material.

There will be an extended class from 7 pm to 10 pm with a shared supper included in the evening.

The class is open to everyone - Angus Folk members and the general public.

Brendan explains his singing workshops are open to everyone.
"I make sure to teach in such a way that the material is accessible to all, regardless of musical background.

"I teach mostly from the "American Vernacular" - shape note hymns, Appalachian ballads, gospel quartets, and such.

"I find these songs to be deeply engaging, fun to sing, and think they show a far-more varied and interesting America than the one most often portrayed to the world.

"I also have an abiding interest in the harmony of sub-Saharan Africa, and use a liberal sprinkling of my own compositions and arrangements."
The workshop will cost £5 (£4 concessions).
