Hard work on Wednesday and great progress. This coming week we will have a quick sing of Moon River which we are doing in place of Dry your Tears and which is very easy. We should be able to complete the Dvorak too and get the others sounding even more slick! Just a thought, 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. The words of Moon River are attached if you need them.

STOP PRESS
The amount collected for the Ukrainian dancers to pay for their full English at the Salt Cellar was exactly covered ( with 50 p to spare!) by the generosity of the choir. I gather they’ve become quite addicted to fry-ups during their stay here and were very grateful.
