Singing Holidays

My singing holidays take place in beautiful settings across the UK and Europe. They’re designed for people who want to travel somewhere special with like-minded others and explore the joy of singing together. 

My Portuguese singing holiday in 2026 is in a new venue.  I have found a wonderful setting in the middle of an ancient cork forest, close to the mountains.  The owner of the place, Paul, is passionate about sharing his home with others who want to enjoy the simplicity of natural unspoilt Portugal, away from the main tourist trail.  Throughout the forest there will be wild flowers that we can walk amongst and the sky will be full of song birds.  All around the land there is a tranquility that is rarely found these days.  The accommodation is the old family farm house which has been renovated in keeping with local traditions.   Monte de Japonica  

My autumn holiday as also a new venture, on a gulet off the Aegean coastline of Turkey.  In addition to the daily singing sessions, there will be swimming, hiking along ancient pathways, visit to mud baths and thermal pools. Away from the traditional tourist path, with short hikes accessible from the sea, you’ll experience a unique vista of the Turquoise coast. Feast on fresh and healthy food prepared by on board chef and relax at night under the stars.  More details are here  Singing in Turkey

All my holidays skillfully blend group singing with time to relax and explore. We typically sing in the mornings and early evenings, leaving afternoons free. The singing sessions offer a deep dive into the emotional and physical experience of singing—how our voice reflects our feelings, how it affects others, and how we build confidence in using it.

The atmosphere is relaxed and flexible, allowing the group to evolve naturally. Trust between singers is at the heart of our time together, supported by bodywork, sound, and vibration exercises. Eating together—whether in-house or at local restaurants—is central to the experience, offering space to share stories, reflect, and connect.

While we still sing beautiful songs, I’m increasingly drawn to playful vocal exploration beyond traditional singing. We spend some time improvising and using our voices freely as tools for expression. These holidays are as much about laughter and friendship as they are about music.
