Singers prepare for Eastbourne Shout!
EASTBOURNE is preparing to stage a unique sing-along this spring with Eastbourne Shout! set to fill the seafront's Western Lawns.
A culmination to the third annual Eastbourne Festival returning in April, Eastbourne Shout! is hoping to attract residents as well as visitors from across the country to join together in this mass sing-along event.
With three songs chosen for the sing-along including 'I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside' celebrating Eastbourne's beautiful coastal location, Shout! offers the chance for avid singers as well as those who only sing in the shower to be part of something big with plans to add a video of the event to YouTube and broadcast Eastbourne to people around the world.
Festival organisers are calling for local workplaces and clubs to put together their own team to enter the Eastbourne Shout! and hold their own practice sessions.
From schools and community centres to book clubs and hotels, the Eastbourne Shout! welcomes singers of all ages and abilities.
With Shout! also including a rendition of international song 'Babethandaza' from South Africa and a national favourite 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot', there's plenty of time to learn the lyrics, whether joining in with the whole song or just for the chorus. Visit www.ratton.e-sussex.sch.uk/events/?eventId=195&page=3 to find the lyrics.
To star in the community production, or just to join the chorus, contact arts development officer Miz Wells, m.wells@ratton.e-sussex.sch.uk or 01323 514322, or visit the Eastbourne Festival website for more information www.eastbournefestival.co.uk
