About the event
A concert of an eclectic range of popular music and folk songs, followed by refreshments and a retiring collection towards Little Arts. You don’t need a ticket to get in, but confirming your interest by booking online advance would be incredibly helpful for the festival organisers. You can pay what you like for an online ticket. We suggest £5 - £10.
The WarbleSingers community choir celebrates its 8th birthday this summer; our very first concert was at the 2016 Little Arts Festival in Warbleton Church.
We started WarbleSingers in order to bring together a group of local people who enjoy singing popular music. As some of us are members of Warbleton Church we have its support in using the Church Rooms and the Church itself as a venue and we are invited to participate in some of the key events in the Church calendar. This crossover works well, especially at Christmas. As seen in our title, our repertoire ranges widely from Foo Fighters, Keane, Christine McVie, Elbow, Willie Nelson, Beatles, Abba, Birdy, Beach Boys, Harry Styles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Kirsty MacColl and more.
Led by Kerry Evenden and Peter Martin (guitar), WarbleSingers focus on an eclectic mix of songs and at times are joined in concerts/events by Kerry’s Eastbourne choir, Bourne to Sing. Regular events are the Christingle service at Warbleton Church, Carols on the Green outside Osborne House where we lead the singing before retiring to The Horse and Groom to perform a set of Christmas songs and carols. We also sing at the Heathfield Christmas Farmers’ Market, Warbleton Church summer barbecue, Le Marche, our annual summer concert, various open mic evenings and the occasional wedding. We meet to rehearse at Warbleton Church Rooms on Wednesdays at 7:30. New members are always welcome.
