Yet another fantastic turnout on Wednesday evening and with the food bank full to overflowing once again. Great response to the quilt raffle too. It will be drawn this afternoon (Saturday) at the hospital fete (2.00 – 4.30). Hope to see you there.
This coming week we will polish Shaftesbury’s Delights, Tree of Life and Blue Moon, have a look at Give Me Wings (held over from last time) along with Circle of Life and Green Man + I am a River and Simama as warm-ups. Words for Green Man are attached, others have been attached in recent weeks or are not needed.
Our repertoire for Motcombe Fete, the Big Green Week and Make Music Day will be chosen from the following “long list”:
Bela Mama; Walk in Beauty; Ooh la la lay; To walk along this shore; Oak of Old; Simama; Heart to Heart; Vive La Compagnie; Circle of Life; Blue Moon; Green Man; Give Me Wings; Shaftesbury’s Delights; Place Called England; Tree of Life; Wake Up; Vive La Compagnie; I am a River; Morning has come; Up above my head; Little Bit of Love; 500 Miles; Say, Say Yes; This Lonesome Road.
