It has been 23 fantastic years with The Holly and Ivy road show, every single one of them cherished and thoroughly enjoyed. Xmas will be very different without Holly and Ivy. Thanks to everyone who has supported it over the years. 🎄❄️From Laura:
Absolutely heartbroken to say that after 23 joyous years of performing in The Holly & Ivy Roadshow with the incredible David Oliver and Stewart Hardy, we have sadly made the decision to make this year our final year. This project is what Christmas is all about for me, getting together with good friends, singing, dancing, eating lots and lots of mince pies and sharing our traditions with the most wonderful schools who have made us feel like part of their school families every December. That feeling of walking into a school hall after a whole year has gone by, shouting "Wassail" and hearing the whole school shout it back to you will be a sound I will cherish forever.
They say all good things must come to an end, this has been one of the most wonderful pieces of work I've been involved in.
Thank you to all of the schools, teachers and children who have supported us over the years, we will miss you all next year.
If you have tickets for the Beamish Christmas evenings, you may spot David and I, please come and say hi! (more details to follow).
WASSAIL! ❤️🥹

Zoom workshops are coming up in a couple of weeks!Friday evening session - all instruments welcome. Music is provided in advance, with suggested chords and harmony lines.
For the Saturday fiddle workshops, I’ll be looking at a couple of fabulous English Country Dance tunes taken from two major publishers of the mid-eighteenth century, Johnson and Rutherford. In the morning, we’ll learn the joyful and very popular, The Shepherd and Shepherdess. In the afternoon, it is the turn of a belting jig, The Prussian Dance, with a version that I have from my pal and colleague, Sophy Ball.
Book now on the website 🎶🎧🎻🎹 The next set of Zoom workshops will be on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th December. Each workshop can be booked individually, and all will be available on-demand after the weekend. Book now on the website!
There will be lots of favourite tunes with harmonies and chords provided for the Friday evening play-along session. All instruments are welcome, and alternate clefs or keys for transposing instruments can be provided on request.
Then we will have two fabulous tunes for our fiddle workshops. Each one will be chosen to be accessible for learning on Zoom, the techniques required will be covered in detail, and the tunes will be taught phrase by phrase, with lots of repetition. Full resources including audio files and a worksheet will be provided.
