The Ebor Singers, who led a workshop and gave a performance for us not long ago, are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. to celebrate, they hope to release a CD of music written during the English Civil War and particularly music that may have been performed in York Minster during the Siege of York in 1644. Here's a link to their crowdfunding site https://yustart.hubbub.net/p/eborsingers/ where you can find more details, and, if you decide to, find out how you can help fund the recording. There are various levels of support, from pre-ordering the CD through to joining them for a recording session. Their leader Paul Gameson has also just started a blog on their website http://www.eborsingers.org/#!blog/c32 which will be following their preparations and looking back at his research.
