A workshop centred around singing and catharsis. How funerary traditions and mourning culture have changed over the years. Exploring traditions such as “keening” to enact new remembrance for those whose memories have faded and visit grief collectively in group singing.

This workshop will be run by members of Shovel Dance Collective, A nine-piece band made up of musicians of mixed heritage, examining the ways in which traditional music holds queer histories, proto-feminist narratives and the voices of working people.

The session will be held at the beautiful Samuel Worth Chapel in Sheffield’s General Cemetery, Sharrow.
