A Taste Of What's On
Effra Singaround
A free, monthly opportunity to share songs informally with a group of people who want to hear them! In the function room at the Grove House Tavern in Camberwell on the last Thursday evening of the month. We sit around a bunch of tables, listen and take turns to sing each other a song. Usually we go round everyone three or four times. You don’t have to arrive at the start (though it’s easier if you do) or stay till the end. No mics, no speakers, no stage, no “down the front”. Most sing unaccompanied, acoustic instruments are welcome. Everyone listens, and every song gets a clap. No one has to sing, everyone is invited to. If you do, you can sing whatever you like. If you need the song words that’s fine.
