More really great singing on Wednesday. I’m attaching the recording we made of Hold On – hope you enjoy it.
We’ve just about got our Christmas repertoire sorted – a couple more standard carols to look at + Fait Dodo, Ding Dong, Come Tune Your Cheerful Voice, Boar’s Head, Masters in this Hall, Carols of Adoration and While Shepherds as “featured carols”. We’ll be singing a representative selection of these at our various Christmas do’s. Do check your availability for 1st, 15th and 19th December when I hope most of us can take part in the various events we have planned. If you’ve not got them already, please note that I’m attaching the words of the ones that aren’t in the purple carol leaflets or (for ATB music readers) the little white booklets once more. Please print out your own words if you possibly can
