Back after 4 weeks off, and a little outdoor concert, we gathered again in the hall. With another concert looming we are still looking at many of the same songs again. 

Val had some ribbons available for Ukraine, only 50p and pop your money in the envelope. 

Good news is that there can be a raffle at the church on Saturday 7th May in aid of Parkinsons. A bit of a flash mob is planned. But I can’t say anything incase it spoils the surprise. 

We began with a little AMEN and worked our way through a probable running order. Thanks for the words Jack. 


WILD WEST HERO will be followed by BURNING BRIDGES/HAT then MY SONG IS LOVE UNKNOWN, which we sang next. Ed complimented us on the emotion we conveyed. 

BOND MEDLEY falls next but we saved 10 minutes by skipping it. 

PERHAPS LOVE is popping into the line up. Ed sat at the piano to help us practice. It was certainly new to me. It has a really east harmony line for the slightly higher voices, and Ed demonstrated it with it with his falsetto, while reminding us that he still identifies as Male. As if there was any doubt…

Concert read, folks! 

LOVE GROWS spread itself across the screen. Jack was challenged to point out what was amis in the first verse, and it was a little bit of word emphasis and timing at the starts of the lines. We worked on the timing with Ed counting and stamping his foot. 

Next up an old friend, FIRST OF MAY. I Felt a bit sad. It’s seems my old Bramley apple tree and my mother both died this spring. See, you do put a lot of emotion in to your singing, dear choir! Sniff. 

TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU let to some spoken word as we read through the whole thing. Yes you guessed it. A timing issue again. 

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME had us all listening out for an ice cream van. Very quickly gets all big and show tune! Ed said it was getting there. 

Then it was time to have some fun with music, movement, and FINISH LINE. Hmmm I wonder how it went? 

Well done. You did amazing. Keep singing, and all my love. Sniff. Cat x

Ed posted on Facebook, “It is with huge regret that I have to announce the cancellation of our forthcoming Easter concert on Thursday, 7th April.  Our last rehearsal sadly aided in the spread of COVID and the general consensus from choir members is that it would be sensible to postpone rather than risk further infections.  Thank you for all the hard work that you have put in over the term, it really has been fantastic hearing all your voices again. Happy Easter xx”

And that’s probably very sensible.
