Singing Days

It is with immense sadness that we write of the passing of Singing Days founder and international tenor, James Griffett who died peacefully on Sunday 11th August 2019. For many years, Jim co-directed both the Yorkshire and Provence Singing Days courses. As well as founding Singing Days, Jim also founded the choral ensemble Pro Cantione Antiqua, alongside Paul Esswood in 1968. A mere coincidence in renting a house in St Clair when PCA performed in the Monaco Easter Festival, led he and wife Cathy to buy a house there (long before the little chapel was even built) with the idea of running a singing course. Jim absolutely loved St Clair. The rest, as they say, is history. St Clair has laid its magic on the many singers who've been lucky enough to witness it. Jim undoubtedly enriched the lives of so many with his warm heart and passion for music. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. RIP Jim.

Last night’s concert in Le Lavandou was excellent! Fantastic response from the audience, both in applause and in word! Bravo Bravissimo 👏

Wonderful lunch at La Pinède on the beach! The sun is shining and the waves are gently lapping. Perfect.

A couple of photos from today’s mini concert at Le Volcain in Le Lavandou. Sounded fantastic!

Yesterday was the first full day of singing. Lots of notes sung, food eaten and a tiny bit of sun seen! Hope there’ll be more, a lot more, sun today!
