Details about our concert follow -
1.45 dress rehearsal. Which is actually not about what you are wearing but where you will be standing and practicing getting on and off stage. Wear a coloured but not patterned top and black on the bottom
In the evening we meet in the ocean room at 7.30pm.
And we dived into Make You Feel Love and Ed said lovely, lovely. But harmonies need to be louder please. Ed demonstrated the syncopation requirements and didn’t do it wrong at all. We will never sing of it again.
It’s still a little too bouncy, apply a little more smooth, but support with good diction. Don’t forget this is our first song on the night. So be ready to come in strongly, powerfully accurately and what ever else Ed said.
We stood to perform. Perfect, said Ed.
It was Wartime Medley time so the place was filled rats, cats and bats all getting packed into old kit bags … after a first run through it was sounding pretty good. We just worked on the harmony parts, higher and lower.
After a pitch transpose we sang I Still Have Faith In You. We are doing so well with this and stood to perform with a backing track too.
Then for a treat we had some Coke. We didn’t. We attempted First Time and I was a teenager again. Watch out for the nuns. It’s a nun charted sea. And a nun opened door? Maybe not.
Bodyform advert next, said Ed. I smell an eighties Advert medley. Hope it comes with free merch.
A little California Dreaming and God Only Knows to wind down our evening. Or wind up Ed maybe. We stood to perform the latter!
Wow super smashing DFS. Don’t stop singing. See you next time xxx
