In January I991, shortly after I had moved to Totnes with Martin and our young son Emil, I started running an evening class in Totnes Mansion, that immediately filled a gap in the music scene: a choir that anyone could join, learning songs by ear, and exploring songs in harmony from all over the world.

I had previously been running a parent and baby group in Stroud, after my work as an English Language teacher all over the world, a Community Artist and Yoga/Rebirthing teacher (among other things).

By the summer the choir had become an established part of the Totnes scene and we named the group Global Harmony. The rest of the journey will soon be shown here through songs, videos and stories, as well as a remembrance section of beloved singers that have passed on.
