Happy New Year one and all. Karen and I are looking forward to seeing you this coming Wednesday for the start of another year of fun, camaraderie and joyful singing. This week we will be singing Viva la musica, Joyful Mysteries (although opening verses are about the birth of Jesus the remaining one isn’t and, anyway, it is a really lovely song), Gloucester Wassail, May your cup / We wish you joy, Drive the cold winter away, When I was one and twenty, Where shall I be and Cry heart but do not break. No words are needed for Viva, Where shall I be and Cry heart. The words for the others are attached. Please do print them out yourselves if you possibly can.
