So choir removed their masks of all colours and kinds and sat brandishing copies of our festive songs from 2019 and Ed gave us details of our 2 rapidly approaching our door concerts.
2.45 Wyke Square on Sunday 5 December for Wyke Christmas. Parking may when be an issue.
Midday 12 December as part Dorchester Christmas Cracker.
Looking ahead to next year we have been asked to sing in Fayre in the Square again because we are so good. But don’t panic about that right now.
So we dived into the booklets, even tho someone said, It’s only November, beginning with Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
It was request time, which was fun. Good King Wenceslas and O Holy Night got the shout out first.
I was really getting in the mood. Ed chose Carol of the Bells and the room spilling into two. We were a little rusty, so Ed broke it down a bit. Well, a lot. He broke it down very carefully. Somebody dropped their dong.
Please please over emphasise. We followed it with a strong song, Hark The Herald. We went from Dongs to a nice big churchy organ. I really fancy a mince pie now. Carol wanted mulled wine. We stood to give it our all. And give it all we did.
Our treat for that was a Rock Around The Christmas Tree and we were Dreaming of a Wyke Christmas.
Verse one and verse three of O Come All Ye Faithful was long enough to get that descant on and quickly pursued by See Amid The Winter’s Snow but just one verse so we could tackle Holly And The Ivy. Yes. That version. And Ed was mightily impressed.
Tonight’s parting earworm - Fairy Tale Of New York!
Well done for getting all festive despite missing out on last Christmas all together. Keep carolling xxx
