Christmas Countdown Day 18: singing together

All this carol singing rang a bell about the joy of belonging.

Belle is the staff writer at Seen & Unseen and co-host of its Re-enchanting podcast.

With all the carol singing, we explore the joy of singing together. That rang a bell, (sorry for the Christmas pun). So we revisit March and S&U Aloud's birthday. At the time we asked our listener community for requests. They wanted to hear the Belle Tindall's experience at a Jacob Collier concert, and the sound of strangers sharing a sense of belonging.
