As well as Hazel Uren trying to set up a madrigal group, we also have Sylvia Allen trying to start a group to play light classical pieces. See her article in the summer newsletter

Yet another new group.



New horizons are opening up for those who up to now have only expressed their musical talents by singing in the bath. Hazel Uren is trying to start another group devoted to the singing of madrigals, part-songs, rounds, and catches.

She has given details of this in an article she has written for our summer newsletter, where it can be found on page 26, amongst Group Reports. You can also see it by logging on to our web site http://www.u3aweston.org.uk/ and opening up the most recent newsletter page, Scroll down the newsletter until you find it.

Note. It has become necessary to remove our newsletters from our web site for the time being. They will be restored as soon as possible.

We wish Hazel success with her new group. You can telephone her on 01934 622982 for more information.
