Jon Boden colourchord harmony workshop

We've got the incomparable Jon Boden coming to do a colourchord harmony workshop in July and, though it's only March, you might want to book your tickets now as they're likely to go fast

Colourchord is a harmony-singing system developed by Jon Boden, with the support of funding from Awards For All, which allows any group of singers to sight-sing in four part harmony regardless of experience, using colour-coded lyric-sheets rather than musical notation.

Jon Boden has become the stand out performer of his generation of traditional folk artists, but one whose repertoire extends far beyond the boundaries of the genre. Most recognisably he was the lead singer (and one of the principal arrangers) of the multi-award winning Bellowhead, one of the most exciting live acts of recent years.

Over 12 years Bellowhead achieved a level of critical and commercial success unmatched by any other band working in English traditional music in the last three decades. In 2015 Jon announced that he had decided to leave the band and on May 1st 2016 Bellowhead played their final farewell gig. During lockdown Bellowhead reunited for a livestream performance that was released as the album Reassembled. This in turn led to a reunion tour in Nov 2022.

This is going to be an epic evening.
