The leader of the choir I belong to, Dave Camlin, is making a video of the choir (Wild Chorus) performing his lovely 4-part arrangement of the first sections of Ted Hughes’ classic poem “Swifts”.  He’s seeking some video clips of Swifts on the wing, that he could intersperse with footage of us singing.  Does anyone have some footage that they’d be prepared to share (with credit) for this purpose?

We’re hoping to “premiere” his video at our Swifts Gathering, in Keswick, during Swift Awareness Week. All welcome!

Many thanks,

Nicki
