TABS Collective
Anyone is welcome to join the TABS Collective. By becoming a member you will not only be supporting the recognition and future development of British song, but benefit from lots of opportunities to learn more about this repertoire, as well as in the following practical ways:
You will receive 'The Song' - a bi-annual newsletter, exclusive to TABS Collective members, outlining news and activities in the field, enlarging on some aspect of British song such as the profile of a composer or a particular composition, as well as suggesting ideas for maximising your listening experience and introducing other ways of exploring the genre.
You will receive complimentary copies of all CDs produced under the TABS banner - this includes the ambitious three-CD project, ‘100 Years of British Song’, recording works from pre-WWI to the present day for the distinguished label SOMM Recordings, performed by James Gilchrist and Nathan Williamson.
You will receive priority booking for TABS events - our first programme of events was the ‘Salon Recital' series, which staged recitals of British song in exclusive venues in London, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire during summer 2022. Click here to discover more...
You will receive notice of associated events - this would include notice of upcoming concerts and recordings also highlighting British song, often with offers of free or discounted tickets/CDs. Click here to learn more about 'TABS in Action'...
You will have the opportunity to access exclusive online content - examples have included recording clips, interviews, or round table discussions of particular interest in the field of British song.
Individuals can subscribe on a monthly, annual or one-off lifetime basis. Please click here to learn more and join us today!

Since launch we have been delighted to welcome several further members to the TABS Collective scheme.
