Spring/summer 2025 EVENTS

COUNTRY MATTERS:
We’re looking forward to singing these wonderful new songs again for you very soon. This is a set that reflects our love and dependency on the land, the bitter ending of traditional ways, the excitement of sowing the next crop and the jubilation of a good harvest. This is both a tender set and a hearty one with plenty of celebration. Expect an evening packed with amazing songs from well loved traditional tunes through to contemporary songs from Pete Seager, Ninebarrow and Geoff Lakeman.
We’ve received phenomenal feedback from audiences and sell out shows on our last tour, so for the first time ever we are running this show again this summer.

Huge thanks to Mark Burley from Sherewood Gallery in Ashburton for doing our posters (and all the photos in them!)

Artist Line-up | Teignmouth Folk Festival
This was one of the loveliest intros we have ever had! By Ulrika-Igraine Munoz-Alarcon on the TFF committee.
"The Lost Sound - Dartmoor Folk Choir led by Sandra Smith; they are a true feast for the ears.

Whether in a space large or small, the choir touches the very heart with their compelling sound, summoning stories and melodies of old, shaped into something new, relatable and truly their own.

Having worked with Show of Hands, Chris Hoban and a number of local community groups The Lost Sound show that they are a choir of and for the people, the land, the present and the future."

DARTMOUTH - Saturday July 12th 7:30pm CANCELLED. Our sincere apologies on cancelling the concert. The choir and MD have been really poorly with literally half the choir off sick. We need some time to gather our voices and energy again before Sidmouth. We will be back some time - in good health, we hope!

SIDMOUTH FOLK FESTIVAL 2PM THE HAM - Support for Steve Knightley and Friends. We have our own 40 mins set and will be accompanying Steve and friends on stage!

Audience from Brixham Summer 2024, Country Matters concert

“ I have seen/heard so many choirs over the years and I can say I was totally entranced- the musical direction was first class- the sound/stage presence and the connection with the audience was perfect x thank you”

The Lost Sound Audience

That was one heck of a beautiful concert the other night. Fantastic choir, amazingly impressed that everything was from memory (crickey, you really whip them into shape!), wonderful variety of songs, groupings and the conductor was fab - u - lous! What a joyful evening you created for everyone who had the good fortune of getting a ticket! Can't wait to hear the winter songs you've picked out.”
