Great singing again on Wednesday. Good to re-visit a few old favourites as well as polishing some of the items for our forthcoming Fringe show (see below). As you know, quite a number of choir members are involved in other Fringe productions too. I have been given info for the ones listed below – do support them if you can. Looking back to the weekend before last, photos from the Gold Hill Festival are now on our website.
This coming week we will double check items for the Fringe and, if time, continue looking at a few old favourites – probably Be Still My Soul, Senzeni Na and My Little Cup (no words will be needed)
COMING CHOIR EVENT
Sunday 23 July Shaftesbury Fringe 11.15 a.m. Shaftesbury Abbey Gardens. As you know our programme will be chosen from the following: Bela Mama; Simama; Vive La Compagnie; 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; Ooh-la-la-lay; Follow the Heron; Shaftesbury’s Delights; Say, Say Yes; The Green Man; Circle of Life, Hold On.
