If any of these songs are at least vaguely familiar to you, please join us:  Meet me on the corner, Fields of Gold, Only our rivers, On children, Teach your children, The river is rolling and You’ve got a friend.

Singing for the NHS in London on May 18th

Singing for the NHS in London on May 18th

Waltham Forest Voices Singing for the NHS: “We’ve got to get angry – louder and faster” Lucy Reynolds

Demonstration on Saturday 18th May to defend London’s NHS

Text Julia on 07801756863 if you’d like to come over this evening and learn some of the songs to sing with a mass choir tomorrow morning (details below)

If, like me, you thought the privatization of health care was only just beginning, I urge you to take the time (over an hour) to watch Lucy Reynolds’  clear and comprehensive explanation of what’s happening to our NHS including an account of the Labour Party’s complicity in establishing the legal framework to make this privatization irreversible.

 

On Saturday I’ll be singing with the combined choirs of RAISED VOICES www.raised-voices.org.uk , RED & GREEN http://www.redandgreenchoir.org.uk STRAWBERRY THIEVES http://www.strawberrythieveschoir.org.uk/ WORKERS MUSIC ASSOCIATION http://www.wmamusic.org.uk/

Waltham Forest Rising & Singing: The Market to the Marshes

What? The newly formed Waltham Forest Rising group will be leading a walk from Walthamstow Central Library to Walthamstow Marshes with singing led by Waltham Forest Women’s Voices.

When? Friday 8th March 7-9pm (and more marching and singing on Saturday 9th: see below)

Why? To mark International Women’s Day and to send a message that Waltham Forest is a safe and welcoming place for all women and girls.

How? We need to make a noise and we have lots of good songs to sing. But we need a few people to learn the songs (or at least the chants, refrains and choruses) for everyone to join in with.

Who? Waltham Forest Voices includes anyone who wants to sing with others in the name of  equality, solidarity and social justice. You don’t have to be a “good singer” (whatever that means).  You just need to enjoy singing with others and making a lot of noise. 

The following morning, some of us will be joining “Women Re-choired” to sing on the Million Women Rise demo (against male violence in all its forms) on Saturday March 9th from Oxford Street (outside Selfridges) 12 noon to Trafalgar Square 3pm and there will be a  “Women Re-choired” rehearsal on Monday 4th March 7-9pm at 213b Blackstock Road, London, N5 2LL where you can learn the songs we’re going to sing on the demo and at the after-party! 

For Walthamstow women, we’re going to practise the songs on Saturday 2nd March and Sunday 3rd March 3-6pm at my home in Milton Road E17, sing them again on the Market to Marshes walk, and meet up at The Victoria pub in Hoe Street at 9.30 am on March 9th for a run-through before setting off at 11am to join Women Re-Choired outside Selfridges in Oxford Street.

How do I join?  To join us, and/or find out more, please email juliajubilada@gmail.com or phone or text me on 07801756863. Anyone is welcome to come along to (some or all of) any of these rehearsals but please let me know (even at the last minute) when you’re coming.

Save our Glam Jam! Saturday 2nd Feb at The Vic from 8.30pm

If you’ve ever enjoyed the Glam Jam.at the  Victoria Pub on Hoe Street, with that amazing musical duo CJ and Lady Imelda, then come along this Saturday to show your appreciation.  If you haven’t experienced this unique musical phenomenon, this may be your last chance to see them in Walthamstow. If we can pull in a good crowd on Saturday we may persuade pub management to keep bringing them back on the first Saturday of the month. And it’s a great night out!
