It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Lumen event last month (pictured above) - I think everyone can agree that the singing from Nazan and Ben was just exquisite, and James played the piano gorgeously!
A friendly reminder about our upcoming events, starting with our next Lumen concert in ONE WEEK! Please see full details below. In the meantime, an important announcement....
COVID-19
Songhaven will be going ahead with our upcoming concerts as planned. We will only cancel if the official advice changes from the Chief Medical Officer regarding public events.
That said, we have decided to put some additional hygiene measures in place for this month's concerts, as the wellbeing of our audience members, performers, and volunteers is very much a priority for us.
We will have hand sanitiser at the ready as everyone arrives into the space, and our artists and volunteers may not wish to greet people with hugs and physical contact. We hope you can be understanding of this. In addition, if you are feeling unwell on the day of a concert, we kindly ask that you err on the side of caution and stay home, particularly if you have a cough. Even a common cold or flu can have a huge impact on older audience members, as well as our singers who rely on their healthy voices to make a living. If you are at home and feeling unwell... our online footage may be of interest:
CONCERT PHOTOS & FOOTAGE - ONLINE :)
We have a selection of photos from our events on instagram (@songhaven_uk) and on our website here: http://songhaven.co.uk/photos/. There are also some video snippets you can watch on our website here: http://songhaven.co.uk/footage/. Please do share these with your loved ones and enjoy watching if in between Songhaven events.
Best wishes,
