After months of preparation and anticipation the first Singing Workshop of World War One songs took place in Callington Town Hall on September 6th.

An enthusiastic group of about 40 singers attended and were led by Jenny Coombe and Callington Town Band through many rousing, popular choruses – and a few that were less well-known.

The aim of these Workshops is to familiarise the singers with the songs prior to them forming the chorus that will sing in the dramatic production in November.  This production is called ‘And Some Came Home’ and tells the story of WW1 as seen by those who took part and is a Community event that has been supported by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and FEAST.

There is still time for anyone who would like to take part to make contact with Shirley Morse (01579 350336 or shirleyamorse@gmail.com).
