Busy Bath 🎶🎶🎶

I’m a little behind with my blogging! It’s been super busy. Making our way towards our next stop we covered some beautiful coast line.

Port Isaac home to Doc Martin.

We walked up hill and down stairs to get to Tintagel Castle. Built in 1230. It’s on the coast and was the seat of the Cornish kings.

Further on the coast we stopped at

Ilfracombe harbour
Verity: Virtue & Justice. Sculpture by Damien Hirst.

We spent the next night at Minehead. This is the start point of the great Coastal Walk and was featured in the movie The Salt Path.

The next morning was clear as we drove to Bath. It’s beautiful countryside. Green. Fields defined by hedges , narrow roads , little villages. Stopped at Cheddar. Home to the Cheddar Cheese! Naturally we bought some. We found our village in Bath and met Ros and David in the Main Street having coffee!

We were able to check in around 1 and found the apartment was perfect for the four of us. A few stairs! But a very convenient location- just near the hall where our first work shop was held.

A quick lunch with a few of the soul singers and Ros and I headed off to the a capella workshop. We left David and Steve to do the laundry!

David & Steve with the laundry bags. With Jac our musical director!

The workshop was fabulous. We worked on two songs with Laura, a local choir MD. She was beautiful. So encouraging and so good at directing us. We learned Little Shop of Horrors and Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. It was a joy.

After working hard all afternoon we then walking into the main city and did a few pop ups.

Some our Soul Song buddies.

Trying to attract a crowd to promote our two concerts on Saturday. We were singing up a storm. And feeling cold. Even though it should be summer.

Singers getting organised.
Rugby supporters crossing the bridge to the grounds. Walking through supporters smoke!

Our final pop up was at the entrance to Pulteney Bridge There was a huge Rugby match between Bath and rivals Bristol from just down the road! The pubs were pumping? The crowds out in their blue, black and white supporters jerseys. We set up at the entrance to the bridge and even attracted a small crowd.

Dinner was a well deserved jug of Sangria and tapas! then a walk home to bed. After a long catch up with Ros and David.
