Great turn out last Wednesday and some great singing too. We made an excellent start on Funiculi Funicula and Moma Don’t Allow, while In My Life just needs a bit of polish. This coming week we should be able to complete Java Jive, Moma and Banana Boat Song + continue Funiculi Funicula - all of which will form part of our summer “pad”. We will also do Bela Mama and Vive la Compagnie as our warm-ups along with Ghaafoor’s Bus and Go Placidly. Something for everyone as ever I hope. Words, where needed, have all been attached in recent weeks.
