20 FEBRUARY 2020

The programme for the VE Day Celebrations just gets better and better.  There was some really lovely singing last night.  Lovely songs too of course with some classy arrangements.  Next week we will continue with We’ll Meet Again and Ev’rytime We Say Goodbye and hopefully start Lili Marlene, time permitting.  We’ll also be singing We Got All the Love, Illa Lucem, This Little Light of Mine, I can’t help falling in love and Senzeni Na once more.
