Come to Sing!

Come to Sing! returns to the National Waterfront Museum on Tuesday 3 November, the first of a series of morning sessions that run through the autumn and winter. It's a simple enough premise: you turn up, pick up some basic Welsh, and sing along in a supportive room. The whole thing is led by local musician Delyth Jenkins, who brings the warmth and the songs to the session.

If you've never sung in public, this is a good place to start. There's no experience or ability required, and the focus is on the singing rather than the performance. You'll learn simple Welsh as you go, so you don't need to know a word of the language to join in. The sessions run fortnightly during term time, and this one is part of a partnership with Menter Iaith Abertawe, the organisation that supports the Welsh language across the city.

Because it's a fortnightly series, you can drop in for a single morning or make a habit of it. After 3 November, the group meets again on 17 November, then on 1 and 15 December, so there are five dates to choose from across the next few months. Each session runs from 11am to 12pm, making it an easy mid-morning thing to fit around your day.

Entry is free, and the sessions take place at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea. With Delyth Jenkins leading the singing and Menter Iaith Abertawe providing the Welsh, it's a low-pressure way to pick up a few phrases and spend an hour singing with other people. The dates are 3 and 17 November, and 1 and 15 December, all from 11am to 12pm.
