Dear FriendHope you are keeping safe, sound and singing whenever possible!
Here in London falling leaves and temperatures indicate autumn is upon us. As we navigate continued crises accompanied by the mad cacophony of sound and fury blaring from every media outlet, it's essential that we each still down and tune into our inner voice, and trust our creative instincts. Personally I love the squirrel season of Autumn, it's a time to make and collect treasure to warm and light the shortening days, trusting that our creative spirit can guide us through.

Trust yourself... if you've got an idea about this song is working, this song isn't working.... you will know... Helen Chadwick
In the latest episode Helen Chadwick, Composer, Singer, Song-Theatre Creator shares
insights and stories from her wealth of experience creating innovative song-theatre and projects including mass choral fundraiser Sing for Water.
Helen's great gift is to bring a lightness of touch to sharing profound stories and issues through the magic of song. A theme which runs throughout our discussion, is the depth of the trust she has in her collaborators. and also the creative process. Saying 'no idea is too small', she encourages trust in the initial sparks of inspiration and the continual experimentation and refining of creating work.
Sing for Water 20th Anniversary
It's a wonderful experience and the fact that it means something, that it gives each person a sense that they're doing something of value in the world
- Helen Chadwick
Helen shares her reflections on 20 years of Sing for Water, which has raised over £1.2 million for WaterAid projects bringing clean water to some of the world's poorest communities. Now a national and international movement with many regional leaders, she talks about how allowing people to make an idea their own, gives it space it to flourish and grow organically.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at the Scoop for a sunny morning rehearsal and a very watery concert - it was so amazing to be together - come rain, shine or pandemic - video below!
music is magical...Listening to Helen speak about her innovative performances really inspires me about the magical possibilities of music, how deeply validating and affirming it can be when we share stories and make a difference through song. Trusting ourselves and in the magic of music allows us to listen for our creative callings, hunches, ideas and give them space to flourish.
BIG THANKYOU! For bringing your unique voice and magic to the world and for staying tuned!
Wishing you a much happy squirrelling -
may you find much singing treasure this October🌹 🎶
Be well, be safe, breathe deep, sing loudly Lots of good autumnal singing vibes
