The one where Ed brought many printed copies of the new tidy lyrics to one of our songs, and then people ate them all up very quickly. 

Before warm ups Jack and Ed demonstrated where to find the lyrics and had fixed any broken link issues you may have had this week. 

Ed was very excited about his new backing tracks trialed in Dorch DFS last night, and was ready to conduct. And we can now sing the single versus the album version of Total Eclipse

At 8pm next week there's an Isle-Of-whyte rehearsal be there or be named and shamed. And then of couse on Friday night it's out concert at All Saints Church. 

So first up was To Make You Feel My Love, followed by Somewhere. The latter has rather a lot of potential for sssssnakes... Mob rule has lead part of this song completely universally out of time, even if Carol said it sounded lovely. Watch out for the triplets too. You will always have your hands full with triplets. After breaking it down for us, Ed lead us trough it again. 

Only Yesterday had a new backing track. Slightly shorter ending and some subtle backing vocals. Nice. 

Total Eclipse Of The Heart makes me want to bring hairdryers for the front row. I might. Anyone got any hairdryers we can set to cold? Quiet motors preferred of course. Ed was actually rather happy with that, and we moved on. 

Video Killed The Radio star got another few Whaaaas added and the backing track was fabby! Then we had too many Oh-ers so we had to axe those. Julie and I sang the last voice. It's really cute that bit. 

Forever Motown. Reach out needs echoes dear choir! Part way in Eds arm refused to cooperate and gave him cramp. We were utterly lost. So we tried again and left out the big manly HUH. Hmmmm. 

Finally One Day Like This to finish, before invitations to leave solo info on Ed's yellow folder on the way out. Don't forget your holy cows to the end!

Keep singing DFS, we have only one more practice until our concert and we might have to squeeze in an extra copyright free tune next week and a little fun. See you there! Cat xxx
