Great singing last week. Don’t forget neither David nor I are available on 25th September so, regrettably, there will be no choir on that date. I attach a photo of the rehearsal space David taught Bella Mama and a photo him and Sue suggesting they have survived so far!
This following week you’ll be doing Ezulwini continuing The Road Home and Grateful and Loved (both well on the way to completion) Blue Moon and to celebrate my first swim of the year in the wonderful Shaftesbury lido (!) I attach the Swimming Song, an easy new song for us. All words where needed have been attached in recent weeks. Please print them out yourselves if you can amd maybe a spare copy to pass onto the needy! .
Helen and myself are giving a vocal workshop on Friday Sept 27th 1.30 pm before our gig at 5 pm. in the Grosvenor. Do come along if you can! Also in Mere on Sunday Sept 29th with the same programme. I’m also trailing Heart of the Matter watch party on Oct 2nd at 7 pm. I’m going to try and organise a screening before choir in the townhall (someone suggested it last week)
