Back to the sunshine….Helen ran another fabulous Harmony Magic holiday in Paros, Greece this summer. A record number of singers joined her for a week of song, wall-to-wall sunshine, great food, walks and outings (visit Camps/Holidays Page). Helen is running the holiday again next summer, from 26th May – 2nd June. Bookings are already being taken so don’t wait too long making that decision!
