Yet again there was some really wonderful singing Wednesday evening – congratulations all round. This coming week we will do the remaining verses of Shaftesbury’s Delights, polish Give Me Wings and hopefully have a look at Green Man.
We are singing at Motcombe next Saturday of course when I would like to do most of the following: Bela Mama; Simama; Vive La Compagnie; Circle of Life; Blue Moon; Give Me Wings; Place Called England; Wake Up; I am a River; Morning has come; Up above my head; Little Bit of Love; 500 Miles; Say, Say Yes. We will have a very quick look at most of these on Wednesday as well, so be prepared for a really good sing. Words have either been attached in recent weeks or are not needed.
