What a wonderful turn-out for Gold Hill Festival last weekend and what a great sound too. If any of you have any photos of the event (good ones that is) do send them to either me or Julia and we will put a few of them on our website. Our three summer events have been very well supported and justifiably well received; only the Shaftesbury Fringe to go now. Last year our show got the second biggest Fringe audience – let’s do better this time! Quite a number of choir members will be involved in other Fringe productions too, of course, so if you would like your show to be added to the list of events below let me know and I’ll add you. (Basic info + a flyer is probably best.)
This coming week we will double check Green Man, 500 Miles and Little Bit of Love, sing Senzeni Na again and revisit a few old favourites – probably Rongo Mau, Be Still My Soul, My Little Cup and Hold On (no words will be needed)
