Apparently it looked a lot like this last year, but we had to cancel for pandemic type reasons. We responsibly warned up. I yawned a lot. More oxygen please.
We commenced with the Peter Kay Children in Need Medley using the original track as a help and guide. After some typos were pointed out, pencils scribbled away and we sang it again by ourselves. Ed said I can bring a giant banana to the concert.
We spend a teensy bit longer on the Jai Ho which is very squeaky in contrast to the ‘get knocked down’ section which is really quite shouty. We sang to the end, with 8 more songs to sing.
Next Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad specifically with the intention of nailing the middle section. We sang along with Meat. We looked very closely at some of the timings, and went again. Ed said it was coming together beautifully.
Still jogging we hit 9 to 5 crazy running and trying to squeeze in all those words. Honestly I was glad to type this so I can catch my breath. Hmmm what else can I type here? Phew! We stood to perform it and managed to inject a great deal of energy. We sang half the song.
In the place of much energy we turned to Now and Forever. Ed sat at the piano to tighten us up a bit.
Time to play rain for Africa and Ed said, You are getting good! The voices were off until we began to sing. Ed said I can bring a monkey to the concert.
And From Both Sides Now with Ed at the Piano was lovely lovely, and rapidly followed by Those Were The Days proper crowd pleased. Raise your glasses of pop!
We had to choose between two songs and I Who Have Nothing won. We stood and made a very good job of it, divas that we are. 8 out of 9 really ain’t bad at all!
Well DFS, we want you (singing), we need you (singing), and don’t forget I love you, Cat xxx
