Cân Sing is a relaxed environment in which we sing for the sake of singing!
Join vocal practitioner Molara for an exploratory celebration of singing, work on strengthening the voice, overcoming some of the physical and emotional barriers to singing openly and freely, and above all singing for enjoyment.
The repertoire is varied with songs from Georgia, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Hawaii with a few shanties and some pop thrown in for good measure.
The group has been meeting for many years, with new additions along the way. It's perfect if you are looking to sing regularly in a pressure free environment, or whether you fancy dropping in for a sing every so often. The pace of the teaching is easily accessible to all, with no time restraints.

Outdoor Shakespeare - The Tempest
2024-06-14 19:00 | Lampeter House, near Narberth
With a hope for a sunny evening, this year SPAN’s popular annual outdoor Shakespeare production will take place on Friday the 14th of June. Join SPAN and the Festival Players for a rousing production of The Tempest.
Shakespeare’s last, and
great, play is a triumphant compilation of intrigue, magic, and humour.
Prospero, an exiled Duke with supernatural powers, creates a great storm which
sees his enemies shipwrecked on his island. Magic abounds, plots are exposed,
and a colourful array of characters gain their deserts. Fascinating
entertainment.
Lampeter House, located in the village of Lampeter Velfrey, just outside Narberth, provides the perfect setting for outdoor Shakespeare, with a small amphitheatre-style theatre built into the beautiful grounds of this lovely estate.
The performance will be open-air. The audience is encouraged to be prepared for any weathers, as the show will go on come rain or shine. Audience members are welcome to bring their own seating.
A wide range of delicious refreshments will be available at the bar, which will be stocked with locally-sourced foods.
This is a popular event; advance booking is recommended to secure your place.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and tickets are free for carers. Please email info@span-arts.org.uk to let us know your access needs upon booking.
