Ipplepen Shape Note Singing, 25 June 2019
Fourteen songs were sung from The Sacred Harp (Denson, 1991) and Shenandoah Harmony (2012) by a small and slightly lopsided gathering, who made a lovely sound and had a good time (with cakes). Welcome to Alice, giving the alto line a try for her first shape-note singing.
