Autumn Events 

Christmas is coming and once again the Ridgeway Singers & Band are preparing to bring their popular seasonal celebration to three locations around Dorset, with local songs, carols, toe-tapping tunes, stories and poetry – including some contributions from Cornwall this time.

The group was formed twelve years ago for an Artsreach project, its mission to rediscover and promote Dorset music. It goes from strength to strength, constantly growing its repertoire. Directed by renowned serpent player Phil Humphries, a member of the Mellstock Band, the Band specialises in performing the kind of music beloved of Thomas Hardy and described in Under the Greenwood Tree. Singers in four parts are supported by a band of players, and this year we have new instruments – bassoon, clarinet and flute – to add to the traditional sound. Long forgotten carols, songs and dance tunes are brought back to life, and new settings and compositions are created in the tradition.

Expect a festive and infectiously enjoyable occasion with opportunities to join in if you wish. Refreshments will be available.
