Love is…Songs of love, loss and hope across time and space

Our programme of summer concerts “Love is…” took place over the last weekend in June, with joyful and moving songs on the themes of love, loss and hope.  They were enjoyed by singers and audiences alike.

This is just some of the feedback we’ve had from the audiences:

  • “The Gatehouse concert was absolutely fantastic – covering songs from across the world – from New Zealand, S. Africa and, of course, Scotland. How everyone remembered the words and the beautifully sung music, I will never comprehend. It must have taken months of practice. Congratulations to everyone for delivering such an enjoyable, emotional and wonderful concert.”
  • “Fantastic concert at Gatehouse yesterday – thank you so much to all involved. The songs were all beautifully sung, and it was a truly heart-warming and joyous event! Lovely venue, too. More of the same, please! ♥♥♥“
  • “The concert at Gatehouse yesterday afternoon was fantastic. I loved every moment. The audience should be pouring on here to tell you so. I have been to many of the concerts lead by Kate over the years and enjoyed them all but the gusto, enthusiasm and skill of the SongWave choir was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable. It lifted my flagging spirits. Thank you everyone.”
  • “Was a wonderful concert, great programme and heart lifting singing. Thank you so much”
