Welcome to the website of Wild Harmony. The site is under perpetual development!

WILD HARMONY is a small, friendly South Brent based community choir, which meets regularly to share the fun of singing together and learning songs and harmonies from around the world.

Emily Roblyn leads Wild Harmony. Emily grew up in Canada and was encouraged to harmonise and perform from an early age so that singing is so much a part of her she doesn’t ever remember being without it. She is passionate about sharing her love of people coming together to sing and the magic of harmony.

The SONGS part of the website includes words of all songs we sing or have sung with Emily and collections of some earlier Wild Harmony leaders. This section been temporarily disabled to enable us to deal more formally with copyright issues and may be returned in due course with members access and a password.

[Until then you will not be able to use the following guidance:

To find a song, click on the ‘Songs’ tab along the top, then look at the list of songs and categories.

Most songs also have an attachment in Word with the lyrics for printing out if you wish.

Wherever possible I have acknowledged songwriters and arrangers. My apologies for any omissions or errors.]

SOME OTHER EVENTS WHICH MAY BE OF INTEREST TO WILD HARMONY DEVOTEES

Dartington Monday Fun Choir: Weekly on Mondays - second half term: 24 February, 2, 9, 16 & 23 March from 5.30 - 6.30pm in Studio 3, Space Studios, Dartington Hall led by Fran André who will be familiar to Wild Harmony singers. There are some proposed changes for the autumn/winter & spring terms, with the aim of encouraging a core group of committed regular singers as well as allowing ‘drop-ins’. While aiming for it still to be a fun, relaxed, no-pressure group learning songs by ear, where all are welcome, there is the possibility of more continuity to facilitate slightly longer, full songs, which may take a few sessions to learn. Core group singers will pay upfront for the whole term, but at a discounted rate: Half termly price per singer £24 for first half; £20 for second half- (£18/£15 - for Schumacher students / Dartington Hall staff & volunteers); General drop in rate £5.50 (£4.50 - for Schumacher students / Dartington Hall staff & volunteers); Summer term: drop in rate across the board. If you would like to be part of the committed core group please email Fran at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to confirm.
