Virtual Valley Folk Music Zoom Sings

We continue hosting a Virtual Valley Folk Sing on Zoom for singers in the folk community, even though are live concerts have resumed.

Our aim is to bring some US and UK singers together to sing for each other. You have the advantage of being able to mute your mics and sing and play along at home while your fellow musicians share their favorite tunes. It’s not quite the same as being in the room, but for this trans-Atlantic bunch, it may be a perk of the lockdown to be able to see each other in this way (and one heck of a lot cheaper than a real visit). We chose the 3pm NY / 8pm UK time to suit some people who are not working long hours in the US, while not keeping the UK singers up too late.

We welcome any type of folk song, traditional or newly composed “in the tradition”. Unlike in person, we are not insisting on a chorus. Sing unaccompanied or use an instrument.

Be sure to set your device for “Turn on Original Sound”. Turning off the device's Automatic Volume Adjustment is another good setting in Zoom, so you can make dynamics and not trust it to the computer. See below for more tips on using the Zoom software.

Any questions? Please contact us for help (preferably the day before the Sing, not during!).
