Good work on Wednesday - things are really well on track for our forthcoming Town Twinning concert. Please do tell your friends and family about it so that we can be sure of performing to a full house. I’m attaching a flyer for you to share. This coming week we will start at St Peter’s so that we can practise Moon River and Verdi with the piano and then move over to the Town Hall for the rest of the evening. Don’t forget, if I can’t help, Be still, I am a River, Wake up and Moon River could be sung without words that would be particularly professional looking.
COVID
The Community Choir don’t appear to have been hit yet (we are clearly a healthy lot) but we will be practising with the doors open unless it is blowing a gale. If you are ill or know you should probably self-isolate please stay at home.
