    “Be a Velvetone for a Day” Workshop

    Workshop and performance with the fabulous Velvetones!

    Workshop and performance with the fabulous Velvetones! 

    Have you ever wondered what it might be like to sing in four-part harmony and be a part of a fun and vibrant a cappella group? 

    Wonder no longer!  Come and join the versatile and vivacious members of The Velvetones for an entertaining and inclusive workshop you won’t forget!  

    You’ll come together as one big Velvetone family as Claire, Steph, Leonie and Stephanie take you on a ride of learning songs from scratch through to performance, with a focus on musical development, enjoyment, presentation, tools for performance and of course, some of the famous Velvetones sass! 

    The day will be a true Velvetones experience – right down to enjoying tea and chocolate with the group at break time. 

    There are no barriers to joining in – everyone will take something away from this workshop, regardless of your musical background.  Those who are up for a challenge will have their needs met, alongside those who have limited or no group singing experience.  All voice types are most welcome! 

    To add to the Velvetones experience, you’ll all sing together and share a fun performance at a special Festival 20th anniversary event on Sunday 6 July. 

    What's included?

    The workshop fee will cover the cost of music licencing, tuition from members of The Velvetones, tea and coffee (and chocolate!), your lanyard with Festival benefits, specially negotiated accommodation rates and plenty of laughs! 

    Who should register?

    This workshop is open to everyone, regardless of your singing experience, music reading ability or voice type.  Come and join The Velvetones family!

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
