Why can t I give Sing Eat Retreat 6

Why can t I give Sing Eat Retreat 6 stars I have just enjoyed one of the best weeks of my life and it s been quite a long life already It started on a sunny Sunday afternoon in October when as a group of complete strangers with a shared passion for singing we met up in a villa outside Tarifa in Southern Spain with its spectacular views across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco And just five days later after working intensively in groups and in 1-to-1 sessions with two professional voice coaches Ben Mann and Patrick d Arcy whose day jobs include working with current and future stars of the musical theatre scene in London s West End and beyond we presented a flash mob and concert of Queen songs at a local restaurant The show featured group numbers and some sensational solos from people who just five days earlier would never have believed themselves capable of doing such a thing to such a high level And all this thanks to the incredible skills passion and patience of Ben and Patrick with additional input from Danny Vaughn who joined us during the week Danny is a rock musician with over 30 years experience of the music business who gave us some invaluable mentoring and practical insights into stage craft and performance skills But this was only one element of our journey albeit a core element The clue is in the name The second highlight of our week was the delicious food prepared every day by our host and the founder of Sing Eat Retreat Zane Rambaran and his team Zane has a lifetime of experience in the hospitality and music businesses which was clear from the expertise and dedication that he showed every day in and out of the kitchen But he would be the first to admit that without the support and encouragement from his righthand woman Cat Grant the event could never have run as smoothly and as seamlessly as it did And all this was done with such kindness good humour and just a sense of fun And the last element was the location itself the beautiful Huerta Belinda This stunning villa and the amazing accommodation that it provided allowed us all to step out of our comfort zones and into somewhere that proved itself to be even more comfortable A place to retreat from the everyday A place to relax A place to sing And a place to make friendships and memories that will last with us all for a long time Sing Eat Retreat truly does what it says on the can And as Judy Garland sang all those years ago Who could ask for anything more

Les Miserables 9-16 Nov 2024

Just back from a fabulous week doing the Les Miserables retreat - a show I have never seen or heard anything of other than the obvious songs Added to which I don t read music so starting from scratch and completely out of my comfort zone Great food company and excellent teaching from the pro s ensured we all ended up better singers than when we started even if I still haven t overcome my horror of solo singing next time Cat and Zane congratulations on a fantastic concept and execution this will go from strength to strength and I will be back

An Amazing Experience

Just spent one of the best weeks ever Imagine a beautiful traditional style Spanish villa set in gorgeous gardens with a view towards Morocco This was the background to a week s singing holiday at Sing Eat Retreat Professional organisation tuition by the best of the music business a most friendly and supportive atmosphere accompanied by wonderful food three times a day made this a fantastic experience Already booked the next two and can t wait

A Brilliant Idea and a Brilliant Week

A wonderful experience to be a part of I was invited to join as a professional tutor and had the loveliest experience The villa was the perfect setting the food and drink was delightful and the participants approached the week with a real joy that made for the best atmosphere Everything about the holiday was brilliantly organised from the pick up to the accommodation I have no doubt that Sing Eat Retreat will go from strength to strength in the coming years and urge people to take the leap and experience it
