At possibly our 5th concert at All Saints Church, Michael took some lovely atmospheric photos and let me share them with you. 

Setting up with Ed, Jenny and Jack was peppered with quotes from my recently released wedding video. That may just get an airing at a choir social in the future!

The lovely people of All Saints church always make us welcome and tonight was no different, with very organised raffling, refreshments and a fine result for our charity The Samaritans. I am sure we will be back next year, given the fine vote of thanks from the Reverend Mr, and the livley joining in during our encore!

This years solos-slot featured a smaller number of choir members along with a set by Ed and Julie who are forming a duet act ready to gig! Nice song from new pairing Mike and Linda and a debut appearance by my dental appliances which didn't make a funny whistling sound once! Phew!

Feedback said that we sounded very good, so it looks as though age is a good thing for DFS. We will be 7 in September, and the blogs 7 in January. Such fun! Some of the songs we sung really challenged us this year and I think the audiences choice for our encore really took us by surprise!

Last year this Friday was the 9th May, not the eighth, and I pointed out the appropirately dated hassock that my other half was using to sit on in the pew. For it was on Friday 9th May last year that he asked me to marry him, and choir said they would sing at our wedding! Happy happy! 

Almost as good as raising a neat £200 for The Samritans, bless em! Well done DFS see you Thursday xxxxx
